Study Abroad in London explores British literature, art, philosophy, culture, and
society in an international context, emphasizing the multicultural dynamics of Britain's
past and present. Students will research and visit several historic sites throughout
London, including the Tower of London; British Museum; Highgate Cemetery; William
Shakespeare's Globe Theatre; St. Paul's Cathedral; The Victoria and Albert Museum;
Westminster Abbey; and Portobello Road. We will visit Stonehenge, Stratford-upon-Avon,
Oxford, and Edinburgh. The final week excursion will take students to Edinburgh, via
Yorkshire in the north of England, to visit cultural and historic sites relevant to
their coursework (such as Edinburgh Castle and the National Museum of Scotland). Students
will explore the cultural and historical contexts out of which Britain’s global significance
in humanistic inquiry developed and in which it continues to thrive. Students also
will incorporate experiential learning into course assignments, moving beyond the
classroom and into the living present through walking tours, independent research,
theater, and national archives.
