- An interdisciplinary seminar exploring identity and race in Brazil.
- An experiential program with site visits, seminars and interactive discussions with scholars, activists and more in Cuba.
- A partnership with the University of Western Cape in South Africa, in which WSSU students studied the differences in health inequity issues between our two countries.
