Mark Englehardt, MSW, is the current Global Faculty/Staff Spotlight on the Global Citizens Project website. Englehardt leads a USF Study Abroad Program to Ireland: Global Social Policy, Planning, and Practices : Solutions to Homelessness in the U.S. and Ireland. This interdisciplinary course for undergraduates and graduate students examines the similarities and differences of how the U.S. and Ireland/European countries plan to end homelessness. The students are immersed in a full week of study on the campus of Trinity College, Dublin, Ireland and second week of field experiences and programs designed to end homelessness in Ireland. They visit detoxification programs, supportive housing agencies, homeless services and learn from two international experts on homelessness in the U.S and Europe. Applications for the 2016 program are currently open and available here.
