Hi Heidi,

As promised, the U of O course MIUSA will be taught this summer. I have 
also copied the text from the flyer below. Please feel free to circulate!

*INTL 410/510 Global Perspectives on Disability Summer Weekend Course, 1 
credit, Cross-listed with SPED *

*Saturday, August 11, 2012: 9:00 AM - 3:50 PM and Sunday, August 12, 
2012 9:00 AM - 11:50 AM*

*INTL 410: CRN 42097/ INTL 510: CRN 42101*

*Are you interested in social justice and human rights advocacy? *Join 
us for a weekend course as we examine disability from a human rights 
perspective. Through readings and discussions, students will explore 
issues facing people with disabilities, especially women and girls with 
disabilities, throughout the world. Cross-disability, cross-cultural 
topics will include:

• Gender and disability

• Employment and economic empowerment

• International development and disability

• Health and family Issues

• Inclusive educational models

• Cross-cultural aspects of disability

The course will be taught by Susan Sygall, co-founder and CEO of 
Mobility International USA (MIUSA), a nonprofit based in Eugene. Ms. 
Sygall and other MIUSA specialists have more than 30 years experience 
leading dynamic disability rights and leadership training programs with 
participants from over 100 countries. A highlight of this course will be 
the opportunity to do in-person interviews with 30 disabled women 
activists from around the world.

This course is cross-listed with the Special Education and International 
Studies departments and is also relevant for students across a wide 
range of disciplines, including women’s studies, law, ethnic studies, 
sociology, psychology, human rights, social movements and disability 
issues. No matter what career path lies ahead of you, this course will 
expand your world!


Thanks!

Suz
