Bradley Zodikoff<\/p><\/div>\n

To further the School of Social Work\u2019s ongoing collaboration with Kwansei Gakuin University (KGU) in Japan, Bradley Zodikoff<\/strong>, associate professor of Social Work, and Chrisann Newransky<\/strong>, assistant professor in the School of Social Work, will work with Japanese colleagues to create online course modules that introduce students to social welfare policy and macro social work practice in cross-national context. Specifically, the pilot project will create and evaluate three curricular modules on broad social policy topic areas, to be taught online by Adelphi and KGU faculty to a cohort of students from both institutions.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"

Chrisann Newransky<\/p><\/div>\n

By engaging meaningfully with Japanese counterparts in an online educational environment, Adelphi students will gain a deeper understanding of global perspectives in social policy and social work. Professors Zodikoff and Newransky also hope this effort will stimulate future student interest in Japanese studies and study abroad. Beyond the scope of this pilot, these modules can be used to enhance and create future courses.<\/span><\/p>\n

For over 25 years, Hanna Kim, Anthropology department chair and associate professor, has conducted anthropological research in Gujarat and the neighbouring states of Maharashtra, Rajasthan, and Uttar Pradesh in India.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Hanna Kim<\/p><\/div>\n

She will use the International Faculty Development Award to explore international partnership opportunities with two prominent universities in a relatively accessible \u201cmega-city\u201d area of Gujarat\u2013 Ahmedabad University (AhU) and the Indian Institute of Technology Gandhinagar (IIT-G).\u00a0 Specifically, the award will support two faculty to conduct site visits to AhU and IIT-G. Upon their return, they will share their experiences and build a cohort of Adelphi faculty willing to collaborate with Indian faculty from Gujarat. Professor Kim<\/strong> hopes this pilot will generate interest in the region and lead to a future visit to Gujarat by an Adelphi delegation.\u00a0 Possible outcomes of this study trip would be Adelphi-Gujarat collaborative teaching, research, and publications, as well as an even more long term goal to sustain recurring study abroad opportunities and the international exchange of faculty, students, and graduate students.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"

Carol S. Cohen<\/p><\/div>\n

Carol S. Cohen<\/strong>, professor of Social Work, will also use existing scholarly networks\u2013hers in the field of international social, social work with groups and community-based research, to further global engagement at Adelphi.\u00a0 Specifically, she will leverage the two upcoming International Symposium of the International Association for Social Work with Groups (IASWG), which will take place in New York in 2020 and Lithuania in 2021, to further institutional connections with Vytautas Magnus University (VMU) in Lithuania, where she has been collaborating with colleagues for a number of years.\u00a0 This June, Professor Cohen will welcome a Lithuanian Delegation to Adelphi for a 5-7 day residence. During their visit, a combined group of faculty and students from both institutions will participate in roundtable discussions, lectures, and site visits to local social work organizations. Students working on independent study projects will collaborate and receive faculty guidance, and professionals will connect around common interests. Collaboration will continue in 2021 when Adelphi ambassadors will travel to Lithuania for the next IASWG Symposium.<\/span><\/p>\n

Ammon School of Education, will use the International Faculty Development Award to develop Adelphi\u2019s first faculty-led course for students majoring in TESOL and bilingual education.\u00a0 \u201cAt a time when US schools are becoming more diverse than ever, it is important for educators to develop a better understanding of how student\u2019s cultural backgrounds and lived experiences mediate their language and academic learning,\u201d write Wu and Schwinge. In January, the faculty will travel to Taiwan to vet program logistics and visit K-12 schools that will likely end up on the course itinerary.\u00a0 They will also explore partnership opportunities with National Taiwan University of Science and Technology (NTUST) in Taipei and National Chiao Tung University (NCTU) in Hsinchu.
