Karcher & Wickenhauser | Developing Student Empathy in Study Abroad Programming

This research project investigates cultural literacy and empathy development in Animal Sciences students participating in both a short-term study abroad program and an on-campus semester course. This research was funded by the 2019 CILMAR Seed Grant. The publication can be found at: https://hubicl.org/publications/106/2. Authors: Dr. Elizabeth Karcher - Purdue University Jacey Wickenhauser - Purdue University As the world population continues to grow, students studying agricultural disciplines must be culturally literate and have the capacity to communicate with diverse audiences. In order to begin reaching this goal of student cultural literacy, the research team created an intercultural experience for Animal Sciences students that combined two high-impact practices (study abroad and Learning Communities). Students participated in a 10-day summer program studying animal agriculture in northern Italy and then an on-campus course during the fall semester. This presentation discusses the methods and findings for student intercultural development and empathy assessment.
