Spring term only. This course will begin with an examination of the principal institutions and behavior patterns of British politics, including the structure of government and the interaction of voters, parties, and leaders. We will then address several current or controversial issues which have a marked impact on the political world in Britain, including the Monarchy, the media, nationality, religion and class. Field trips will include visits to Parliament and other relevant sites. This is a survey of what London has to offer theatrically.
Students attend and discuss one play per week.
By the end of the course students should have an outline knowledge of the history of English theatre and a critical appreciation of drama as a contemporary art form. Both institutions offer a wide range of courses, with particular strengths at U.N.L. in English, film studies, women's studies, and the natural sciences and at City U. in business and management, journalism, computer science, pre-med, and arts management. Course choices must be pre-approved by the student's home institution. My experience on Hollins Abroad-London was excellent. The program is very well run.
