The England Program has a long history at Earlham. The first program took place in 1961 and the program has run continually since that time. Living Arrangements Lodging is in private homes, usually with two students per housing unit. Breakfast is provided by the landlady or landlord, and students receive a cash allotment for noon and evening meals.
All housing is in north central London.
Courses and Credits Students earn a total of 17 semester credits for the successful completion of the program. Margaret Walters, a British academic and broadcaster, directs readings in and conducts discussion of recent British Literature. Many of the works reflect current concerns in the changing nature of British life. Recent course readings have included Haroun and the Sea Stories by Salmon Rushdie, Oranges are Not the Only Fruit by Jeanette Winterson and Reading in the Dark by Seamus Deane. Distinguished theatre critic Irving Wardle teaches this course.
