Bio
With over 20 years of experience in directing students abroad in France and in China., Dr Carnine is first trained as a linguist and sociologist. Her research interests include questions of academic and social integration and specifically comparative Social Networks of International students while abroad. Her dissertation focused on US, French and Chinese student cohorts and to what degree their social network composition fostered different types of local integration. Her recent work looks at the various impacts on Chinese students' identities while studying in France. Julia is currently a recipient of an American Council on the Teaching of Foreign Language (ACTFL) grant to study learning relationships between French hosts and their American exchange students. A subsequent article will appear in Foreign Language Annals in collaboration with Celeste Kinginger from Penn State in 2019.
