CEHS partners with University of Pretoria
02 Aug 2013
An author always hopes his words have impact. Ted Hamann is seeing first-hand how a 2009 journal article he co-authored led to an educational partnership between the University of Pretoria in South Africa and the University of Nebraska-Lincoln.
Hamann, an associate professor in the UNL College of Education and Human Sciences, was in Pretoria last week for the signing of a memorandum of understanding between UNL and the University of Pretoria.
This freshly minted partnership will provide mutual benefits for the two institutions, including collaborative research, education-abroad opportunities and comparative study of education. By example, Hamann and UNL assistant professor Theresa Catalano co-led an education abroad visit with a dozen graduate students in CEHS's Department of Teaching, Learning and Teacher Education in July. They studied alongside South African peers, visited local schools and heritage sites and were exposed to a cross-section of South African cultures.
