Using critical discourse analysis, we research how study abroad programs within U.S. universities create and reinforce discourses on the nature of higher education, citizenship, socioeconomic equity, and globalization. We analyze the content of advertising for education abroad programs that describe the myriad of destinations and opportunities available to students; we also discover and unpack the sparse rationale on the value of studying abroad presented to students. Symptomatic of this sparseness are tropes on global citizenship, colonial binaries, and travel—often connected to service-learning akin to missionary travel—that can deepen processes of "othering." Through our analysis of promotional materials—taking a critical look at text and images—used in education abroad programs from 50 universities, we identify and analyze the uncritical operation of neoliberalism and neocoloniality as ideologies within not only education abroad programs but also the institution of higher education as a whole. Drawing from postcolonial and feminist perspectives, we suggest ways to mitigate epistemic and other injustices that discourse on global education might propagate, however unintentionally.
