Greetings from Mobility International USA (MIUSA)!

MIUSA will be teaching our _Global Perspectives on Disability_ course at the U of O in Winter 2018. We would very much appreciate if you could circulate this information with your networks and students who may be interested. Details are below and I have also attached a pdf of a flyer with the same information. If there is any place appropriate to post the printed flyer we would love your help in spreading the word.

We don't teach this course every term, so please encourage students to enroll early as space is limited. Thanks so much!
