Study Abroad Opportunities
May 2024 - London & Paris
The Geography and Literature of London and Paris, Dr. Teresa Reed (English) and Dr. Mark Sciuchetti (Geography)
Introduce yourself to Europe’s best on both sides of the English Channel (or “la Manche”). Survey rich landscapes from the banks of the Thames and the Seine, and measure skyline-shaping domes at St. Paul’s Cathedral and Sacré Coeur Basilica. You can compare medieval stalwart Windsor Castle to its much younger French cousin the Palace of Versailles, though both are equally majestic.
Course Description: The aim of this interdisciplinary course is to provide students with the opportunity to consider relationships between their lives, literature, and space and place. Students will read and analyze works of literature from various genres focused on London and Paris while simultaneously learning about geographic principles and the ways that geography inflects our perception of ourselves and our worlds.
Readings: 1-2 novels/books, like Unlundun by China Miéville and Neverwhere by Neil Gaiman; some short stories and poems; Selections from The Canterbury Tales by Geoffrey Chaucer; short articles and book chapters, like selections from How to Lie with Maps & “Memory and Space: Towards an Understanding of the Cognitive Map” by Daniela Schiller, et.al.
Assignments: both literary and geographical, including journaling, traditional papers, and making maps and learning mapping software
