Subject: Spring 2020 Course Offering Update: Global Perspectives on Disability

Dear Colleagues,

I hope this finds you safe and well during these difficult times.

I am writing to let you know MIUSA is still planning to teach our Global Perspectives on Disability class at the University of Oregon in Spring term, though we have delayed the start date for the course. It is now being offered remotely from April 28th - June 2.

We would appreciate if you could please circulate the information about the class with your networks and students again, as we still do have openings for this class. This is a very unique course, only offered once per year. We believe this course is especially relevant during these uncertain times when the students can learn how people with disabilities throughout the world having to deal with very harsh circumstances,  facing significant discrimination and hardships, continue to make changes in the world and in their own lives to bring about the human rights for people with disability globally.
The class is an upbeat, empowering interactive, personal and powerful experience and we want to thank you in advance for assisting us to bring attention to this class.

Updated details are provided below and I have attached the pdf flyer for the course.

Thank you so much!

Best regards,
Suz
