Study Abroad Course, SISLT, Ireland & UK
Posted January 25, 2018
Study Abroad with SISLT in Ireland and the United Kingdom
https://sislt.missouri.edu/201
Spend part of next summer making the trip of a lifetime, earning class credit, and learning about libraries and librarianship.
This course is designed to help students understand different models of programming that support social justice — providing people various tools that they need in order to engage with society and live full lives. The term “Social Exclusion” is often used in the U.K. in order to express the idea that people with certain qualities are often excluded from the goods and services that others take for granted. This might mean the elderly, minorities, GLBT people, and others. Libraries today go above and beyond providing books for people. During this study abroad trip , we will visit libraries that have won awards for reaching out to some of these underserved communities. You will participate in programs that will help you understand their programs, informing your future practice of librarianship for social justice, while you learn about the history of the libraries and the countries we visit.
