Abstract	This study examines the study-abroad experiences of pre-service teacher candidates at the Faculty of Education, York University, using transformative learning theory. Disorienting experiences are a crucial first step for perspective transformation; students reported facing racial dynamics, "outsider" status, risk-taking behavior and power relations. Students' utilized a variety of reflection opportunities; however, critical self-reflection imperative for transformation requires greater awareness of one's frame of reference. Future studies need to examine how students' specificities shape the realization of study-abroad goals for pre-service teachers and their ability to develop global consciousness and to work towards an equitable and just society.
