Faculty/Staff Detail

Janet Duncan, Foundations and Social Advocacy Department, recently returned from Tbilisi, Republic of Georgia, where she worked with two nongovernmental organizations, Partnerships for Human Rights (PHR) and Families against Discrimination (FAD). Both groups are working toward supporting individuals with disabilities to improve their educational opportunities and rightful place in society. She visited three institutions that are featured in the PBS series “The Visionaries,” hosted by Sam Waterston, featuring the working of Disability Rights International (DRI). Based on DRI’s work, with input from Duncan, DRI will be making a series of policy presentations to government officials from Georgia in the spring.
