Reconceptualizes virtual exchange as a vehicle for humanizing education, expanding global perspectives and fostering values of inclusion and non-discrimination.This book brings a justice-oriented focus to virtual exchange, highlighting how equity, inclusion and critical awareness can be meaningfully integrated into global learning environments.The chapters in this book illuminate the intertwined nature of identity, language and power, shedding light on how these elements can perpetuate deficit narratives and structural inequality within virtual exchanges. To counter this, readers are introduced to diverse justice-based perspectives, frameworks, protocols, case studies and materials that support the design and facilitation of critical virtual exchange experiences.The chapters engage with issues including partnerships and collaborations between the Global North and South, dialogue amid conflict and war, and the use of varieties of English and practices to foster student agency and collective accountability. Each chapter includes practical case studies and critical discussion questions designed for teacher education, facilitator training and professional development in culturally diverse classrooms.

In this book dialogue is used as a research, knowledge-sharing and community-building tool in which participants engage with each other in reflecting upon the perspectives of self and others: challenging, complementing and contradicting each other as critical peers. The book aims to be an enactment of sociological reimagination, as a way to reimagine public conversations that inspire criticality, innovation and multimodality around the intersection of identity (self), language (mediating mechanism) and power (sociocultural domain). Each chapter illustrates the use of dialogue as a participatory research tool as a way in which the sharing of knowledge and the growth of understanding occurs through meaning- and strategy-making processes. Together they present dialogue as an integrative model of self-inquiry and social activism and provide a valuable standpoint to understand the participatory nature of our very effort to question and investigate our sense of self in the world.
