About the BA Global Engagement Seminar:
In winter term 2018 we are launching a new global engagement seminar for undergraduates, first of its kind at the Ford School. This advanced seminar will challenge public policy majors to consider how policy issues are framed and addressed in a non-U.S. context. It includes traditional course work and a weeklong policy study tour in Costa Rica (over winter break), where students will have opportunity to discuss the policy issues with local stakeholders. Course work in this inaugural run will revolve around two issues that are high on Costa Rica’s policy agenda—environmental concerns and immigration. Students will have plenty of opportunity to dig deeply into these issues as they interact with local stakeholders in Costa Rica and prepare policy report during final weeks of the semester.
The seminar and study tour will be led by Professor Susan Waltz (http://fordschool.umich.edu/faculty/susan-waltz)
