uodsp: MIUSA's Global Perspectives on Disability Course (Winter term only) - Please share

[Susan Dunn]

Greetings from Mobility International USA (MIUSA)!

 

Once again, we are teaching our course, Global Perspectives on Disability
(only being offered winter term). We would greatly appreciate if you could
share the information widely with your students in class, networks and
listservs. I've also attached a pdf flyer for the course if there is a place
to post or hand out.

 

Students may also be interested in the opportunity to apply for a MIUSA
internship and receive additional credits. The internship application is
available on our website: https://www.miusa.org/news/2019/winterinternship 

 

Thank you so much for assisting us. We hope to have a full classroom of
students in January!

 

All the best,
Suz

across a wide range of disciplines, including special education, women's
studies, law, ethnic studies, sociology, psychology, human rights, social
movements and disability issues. No matter what career path lies ahead of
