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; St. Paul's Cathedral; The Victoria and Albert Museum; Westminster Abbey; and Strawberry Hill House. We will also visit Oxford and the Lake District. 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.
