Personally, I'm interested in NU's MA in International Care and Community Development and as I've done a little research, I had discovered several classes related to women and children at risk, aftercare, and general social justice issues. I also saw that thru their MACP program they are wanting, willing, and somewhat ready to begin placing students on internships overseas.
So yesterday I meant with a faculty, student, and admissions director to find out the scoop...
They were very positive about collaboration and future conversations about MHGS students benefitting from their field placements. However, they are not providing clinical internships at this time. Their overseas interns do receive front end assistance (location visits from faculty verifying living facilities, hours, job description, etc.) and on going phone supervision, but they do not meet clinical requirements.
Lacie, if you were in need of more ideas and suggestions as you meet with appropriate MHGS folks, I am sure the Northwest guys would be excited to help.
Interestingly, Friday night I am going to attend a class in which we're going to watch a film on sex trafficking in India and on Saturday this same class is having the West Coast IJM director as guest speaker. Apparently, one of the incoming students is already working with the Seattle City Council on the sex trafficking problems here.
So, perhaps we should pull Northwest into the loop as we continue to collaborate with local universities!
