Short Summer Course in London: May 26-June 7, 2009 Sponsored by Department of English, Department of Geography,
What is the Summer Intersession in London? Westminster Abbey, the Globe Theatre, Regent’s Street, Big Ben, the River Thames, and the Tower of London -- these are just some of the places you will experience during your three-week intersession in London. During these three weeks, you will take two courses designed to introduce you to a city filled with history and culture. Lectures, performances, walking tours, and cultural attractions complement readings from Geography and English literature. What types of courses are offered? We offer two concurrent courses: GEOG 490: “London: a Life in Maps” and ENGL 395: “London on Stage and Screen.” Students are encouraged to enroll for both courses, as several course requirements overlap. Both courses fulfill K-State’s General Education requirements and provide a total of six credit hours. The courses will be taught in classrooms just two blocks from the British Museum. When we aren’t in the classroom, we will be out exploring the city and its environs! Course Descriptions
How the Courses are Integrated English and Geography faculty have worked hard to integrate the two courses, so that students can “double dip”: a student’s day-to-day activities in London will be integral to completing the work for both courses. Below are a few examples of this integration:
GEOG 490 “London: A Life in Maps” Prof. Karen De Bres, specialist in tourism, Europe, gender, cultural geography, urban geography. ENGL 395: “London on Stage and Screen.” Prof. Dean Hall, specialist in American and Commonwealth (Indian and Pakistani) literature and culture Guest Lecture: Prof.Naomi Wood, specialist in Children's Literature and Culture and Victorian Studies
Students will reside in shared apartments within walking distance of the classroom building. Each flat has a kitchen, bathroom, and general living area in addition to sleeping quarters. A complimentary computer lab and small library are located near the classrooms. Students provide their own meals. Visit Accent London for further information about the classroom facilities, housing accommodations, and area resources.
Undergraduate students who want a concentrated study opportunity in London, taking courses that count towards their K-State degree. We welcome students who are open to the “study abroad” experience, ready to engage with a new culture and with exciting course material. To complete the course work in the time provided and succeed in those courses, we recommend that students have a minimum GPA of 2.5. Costs are minimal, considering that London is the third most expensive city in the world. Some scholarships are available; visit the Office of International Programs (OIP) in Fairchild for details.
