About the Global Respectful Disruption Summit

COMPEAR.org and GoAbroad.com have teamed up to shed light on the experiences of underrepresented groups worldwide. Together, we aim to foster understanding and address not only issues within international education but also broader societal practices and policies that perpetuate inequality and discrimination.

Introducing the Global Respectful Disruption Summit, a collaborative endeavor to unite individuals passionate about creating positive change through knowledge and dialogue.

Who Attends?

Expected participants and audience include international educators from all sectors (Education Abroad, International Student Scholar Services, English Language Learning, International Enrollment Management, and International Education Leadership), service providers, practitioners working in intercultural communicative competence and diversity equity and inclusion, or those with a shared interest to amplify and highlight underrepresented voices in multicultural and global education.

Students, seasoned professionals, lecturers, or newcomers are all welcome.

Respectful Disruption Learning Guide

One of the goals of the summit is to provide you with the opportunity to reflect on what it would mean to respectfully disrupt those systems that have governed and shaped the spaces you inhabit–professional, personal, etc. Ideally, the summit will inspire and empower you to think deeply about what is necessary for true, sustainable change to occur. To that end, we invite you to use the following exercises and activities, a disruptive “roadmap” if you will, to guide your learning and engagement before, during, and after the summit.

We’re also confident that this learning guide will prove useful when attending any event or activity and encourage any and all to download and use these guidelines to learn how to be a better Respectful Disruptor.

Download and use of this guide is complimentary!

"I was so impressed with the care with which this conference was organized. The speakers were all so engaging and thought-provoking, and genuine. The conversations sparked a lot of thought and I felt a sense of community of learning, even over Zoom. Thank you!"
Heidi Bennett2023 Summit Attendee
"I really enjoyed the topics that were covered in this all day summit. There were many things that I had not thought about previously that I want to take back to my own campus and utilize for a stronger connection with other departments. Both JEDI trainings were very impactful."
Emilie Lenz2023 Summit Attendee
It took a lot of the pomp and circumstance out of conferences and got more to the learning and the discussion, which is why I like networking events! The honesty and transparency in these topics is very appreciated, and the price was very reasonable, especially for someone like me who works at a place that cannot afford a lot of professional funding.
Caroline Zeiher2022 Summit Attendee
These conversations and the connections that can grow here are much needed with in the field. As a small business founder who isn't at a university, I've found it hard to find the places where these conversations are happening or I've found the cost of participation to be prohibitive.
Melissa Topacio Long2022 Summit Attendee
I feel like the sessions from this summit have rejuvenated the level of energy I bring to campus discussions around JEDI work. It was affordable, and provided a great opportunity for professional development.
Angelo Pisano2022 Summit Attendee
"I always learn something new and immediately applicable to my work and action when I attend the GRDS. I feel like the summit recharges me to move forward with more confidence to question and challenge the so called “norms” in place in international education and a variety of other spaces. I am always excited to consider new and creative ways to apply respectful disruption in my life."
