Several years ago, Dr. Hansford conducted a sabbatical where she traveled to over fifteen countries and four continents doing qualitative research over human trafficking case management and assessment. Along with her family, Dr. Hansford has lived in Tanzania, East Africa working in a local village doing HIV/AIDS work, widow/orphan services, along with food assistance, supporting a local nursery and primary school, and supporting women’s microbusiness organizations. Dr. Hansford loves the opportunities to not only expand her own frame of reference through global travel, but allowing social work students to do the same. She shares that “there is definitely nothing like experiencing cultures first hand and experiencing the world through travel.”
