  2. Coffee Hour w/ Dr. Hagos, Dean of Social Work at University of Addis Ababa

    February 11, 2016 - 9:00am to 10:00am

    On Thursday, Feb 11th, Ashenhafi Hagos, Dean of the School of Social Work at the University of Addis Ababa in Ethiopia, will be visiting the SSW as part of a conference held by the Africa Studies Center on the theme "Building Community Health." An objective of the conference is to develop interests here for faculty collaboration and exchanges around social work in Ethiopia. 

     
    Below is information on Dr. Hagos' work and interests. 

    In addition to work in urban areas, Dr. Hagos is particularly interested in rural social work since the majority of Ethiopia's population still reside in underdeveloped rural areas and in the north of the country there is a very severe drought at present.  He is also interested in social work with homeless populations in urban areas who have migrated from depressed rural areas.  At present in Ethiopia, the national government is providing substantial support for education and health care as national priorities.  Dr. Hagos is familiar with the Univ. of Michigan, having spent a summer here attending two Survey Methodology Summer Institutes.
