Studying “Elder Law” In Cuba?

Fishing in Havana BayI, along with many academics, have appreciated the opportunity to travel more easily to Cuba (my first working visit was in June). It will be fascinating to see what academic programs emerge, including opportunities for comparative law studies.  Along this line, it was was interesting to read a Washington Post article about plans of several colleges and universities,  including University of District of Columbia Law School’s announcement of a week-long session in January 2016 for study of “issues around aging,” including, apparently, the dean’s interest in filial support enforcement in Cuba. 

My thanks to Kate Manni, an administrator from Penn State’s Office of Global Programs, for sharing the Post’s article.
