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

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

This course is relevant for students 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 you, this course will expand your world!
