Greetings from Mobility International USA (MIUSA)!

We are teaching our Global Perspectives on Disability course at the University of Oregon in Spring 2021.We would very much appreciate if you could circulate the information about our course with your networks and any 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, please feel free. We would love your help in spreading the word.

We don't teach this course every term, so please encourage students to enroll early (space is limited). There is also an option to pair the course with a MIUSA internship for additional credits.

Thanks so much!
