Two Kroeger College students headed for Durban

Blair Newbold and Khadija Ga’al are two of nine Carleton students selected to participate in a course on “Health Care in Post-Apartheid South Africa,” to be taught by Carleton professor Susanne Klausen at the University of Kwa-Zulu Natal in Durban. Organized through the Institute for African Studies, the course will examine the legacy of racialized health policies during Apartheid; contemporary challenges in delivering adequate health care; HIV/AIDS treatment; and women’s reproductive health. It will include experiential learning opportunities outside the classroom. “I’m very excited about this opportunity to travel to South Africa,” says Khadija, “and I highly encourage PAPM students to take full advantage of opportunities like this in the future.”
