Dr. Jen Self (Social Work, Q Center) and Jaimee Marsh (Student Life, Q Center) will be running a Study Abroad Program in Barcelona, Spain between Summer Quarter 2015 and the start of Autumn Quarter (Approx. Aug 24th-Sept 16th)
Info Session on Friday, Feb. 27th from noon-1pm OR 4:30-6pm in HUB 315.
Basic information: The focus of our program is a comparative analysis of LGBTQ rights and the ways in which social policies affect the lives of LGBTQ people in Spain. A primary focus of the course is examining historical context and ways in which gender and sexuality are conceptualized. We will also compare and contrast the pathways to marriage equality in Spain vs. the United States, and the implications for future rights and social justice movements among LGBTQ communities. For the culminating project, students will conduct a policy analysis by tracing the history and trajectory of a current policy issue relevant to LGBTQ communities.
Up to 6 credits of Soc W 597 may be used toward the MSW elective requirement.
