Kinship Care in Norway - Dr. Linda Dannison, chair of Department of Family and Consumer Sciences and Dr. Andrea Smith, professor in the Department of Teaching, Learning, and Educational Studies, recently completed a Fulbright Senior Specialist program in northern Norway.
They collaborated with Dr. Amy Holtan, faculty of medicine, Department of Clinical Medicine at the University of Tromsoe. During their two-week stay, they presented a two-day workshop and two classes related to their research on kinship care and visited several pre-schools, elementary schools and orphanages. Further collaboration will include adapting the kinship care materials for use in Norway, that Dannison and Smith have written. Jointly authored articles on kinship care will be forthcoming.
