Culture, Health & Women's Organizations in Uganda, Africa

This program aims to provide students with a unique opportunity to experience and witness less commonly discussed folkways and patterns of social life in one of the local areas identified as the cradle land of human kind. Students will be taught by CSU professors with the assistance of a reputable group of international faculty, through class seminars and participant observational formats. Field trips will bring students into immediate contact with local communities to understand patterns of community organizations, and how women's groups engage in developing creative survival strategies to promote development and foster sustainable women's rights in Uganda.
