Look Before Leaping: Risks, Liabilities, and Repair of Study Abroad in Higher Education
Autor Gregory F. Malveauxen Limba Engleză Hardback – 12 apr 2016
As the title implies, too often students and program leaders jump into study abroad without adequately knowing the risks involved; the results can be tragic, even deadly. Unfortunately, ill-trained, negligent program leaders contribute to the mayhem, and legal ramifications frequently follow.
At present, study abroad is experiencing its greatest growth ever. With this phenomenon more mishaps and lawsuits are occurring, demanding an increasing duty of care to manage programs.
This book is produced for experts who design and lead study abroad, and for participants who desire the safest, most educational experiences overseas. Each has a duty to be scrupulous, or to "look before leaping" into study abroad. This book is designed to armor both for possible overseas risks, and give them preparedness to work through potential threats that may be faced.

Recenzii
This important guide is a must-read for students before they study abroad, for their parents who may not understand the risks, and for college program directors who get caught in damaging legal battles when their plans don't take dangers into account. Dr. Malveaux's research and case histories are sobering. Universities are rightly proud of their popular study abroad programs, and they can do more to guarantee a successful experience for their students. This is the road map.
Professor Malveaux's Look Before Leaping offers an accessible, empathetic reference on the delicate topic of risk identification and mitigation in study abroad. Through the voices of jurists, plaintiffs, and study abroad professionals, he thoroughly surveys the risk landscape-from sexual harassment and assault, to health and disability, to cybercrime and terrorism-ultimately distilling a comprehensive set of better practices that goes far beyond the typical checklist.
Health and safety considerations are at the forefront in study abroad, and this book provides easy-to-read, helpful information from the author's perspective of both faculty leader and international educator. Court cases in study abroad are included with an insightful explanation of the impact on the field. This book will provide food-for-thought for anyone developing policies and procedures.
Look Before Leaping is a vital resource that will help to inform and protect study abroad students, program coordinators, and US higher education institutions from many of the pitfalls that come with overseas studies and travel. Dr. Malveaux's insights along with practical advice from seasoned experts in the field give the necessary best practices for successful participation and administration of study abroad in higher education.
