04: Culture and Citizenship

 

Overview

Today we will attempt to connect culture, citizenship, policy, and health.  How might these things be connected and what does it mean for populations who might be in liminal spaces of citizenship?

Jill Jividen, Senior Manager for Research Development Support, Office of Research will be our guest for the first half of the class to discuss how to craft a successful grant.
