Been thinking about international "service learning trips" & how so many students are taken to countries in the Global South & are given no information about the legacy of colonialism there. Doing so allows stereotypes to flourish in what should be a space of critical engagement.

100%. i don’t know how i managed to find an org that didn’t do this - our first night in Nicaragua we were given a history lesson about American involvement there & had an in depth discussion about how to conduct ourselves afterwards

Not only that, it's also harmful to the people they're trying to help. Here in Guatemala we have a thriving 'voluntourism' industry aimed at providing w hero complex experiences rather than actually helping. You can pay extra to save a dying baby..

How timely are these emergency interventions? There was a news article investigating whether children are out deliberately at risk in order to provide these services. Which is both horrifying and infuriating

so true and necessary. when we went to haiti after the earthquake there was no way to even process the devastation without the context of the hundreds of years of global oppression. can’t imagine being in that space without knowing the history.
