The approach of the course is geographical and historical and seeks answers to questions of development in the way people reacted to changes in their world by region and era. Through travel, experience, and reading the student is encouraged to recreate the sense of past landscapes as they are expressed in the sights and sounds of present-day England. Several of the field trips will be in the vicinity of Oxford, such as Blenheim Palace, The Vale of the White Horse, Uffington Castle, and an archaeological dig in Oxfordshire. Others will be to London, Averbury, Glastonbury, the South Wales coalfields, Yorkshire and York, Milton Keynes, Runnymede, and Richmond, presenting a broad cross-section of the English landscape. Application deadline was December 20, 1996.
