Invisible Worlds

Friday, March 21, 2025
12:00 PM – 1:00 PM US EST
Location: Civic Ballroom North, 2nd floor
The space occupied by ghosts, goblins, myths and legends, has shrunk, but not everywhere and not as much as we suppose. This session uses myth, not in the contemporary sense as something untrue but as a story and presence embedded in collective consciousness, representing accepted and influential narratives. If we pay attention to the invisible and imagined, what might we reveal about the dreams and fears of our students, the places and communities they move through, and even ourselves?

Learning Objectives:

  • Unpack and explore the concept of invisible worlds.
  • Understand the connections between invisible worlds and the Education Abroad experience.
  • Explore how the presentation and exploration of invisible worlds within Education Abroad curriculum, co-curriculum, and program design/structure might impact and enhance student learning and development.
  • Imagine invisible worlds and the possibilities associated with the fantastic and unseen.
