Lauren Johnson,

This session focuses on our collaborative project exploring the use of virtual exchange to facilitate dialogues on educational issues between students at the University of North Georgia and the University of Johannesburg. This research explores how virtual exchange supports pre-service teachers in navigating and engaging in social justice education to both enrich higher education institutions and to inform their own practice as educators.
