Come learn about the London May-Mester, “The Roots of Social and Economic Justice.” During this summer program lead by social work faculty, students deepen their understanding of social justice, experience the diversity and multicultural landscape of London, and explore the historical roots of social welfare and social work. Students’ learning culminates through an in-depth project exploring a contemporary social justice issue in conjunction with local social service agencies.

A GRACE program event that will give useful and timely information to students, field instructors, alums and faculty about these important government programs.

Presented by professors Cossy Hough and Joan Asseff.

Come hear about the Oaxaca Global Health Study Abroad program. This summer course provides students with opportunities to study health disparities and achieve practical experiences in community-based global health in Oaxaca, Mexico. Students gain cultural and Spanish language competency skills useful to serving the needs of Spanish-speaking immigrant and migrant populations, as well as an understanding of complex issues related to health and migration across the U.S.-Mexico border.

The course meets upper-division elective requirements in social work, and carries a Global Cultures flag and a Cultural Diversity in the U.S. flag.
