This is an interactive, experiential course designed to engage students directly and viscerally with the history, business, and culture of Britain, with a focus on London. The goal is for active student involvement in the course topics and site visits. Students are encouraged to take full advantage of the varied opportunities that living in a city like London affords.
To appreciate the depth and richness of England’s history/business/culture is to embrace it physically - to climb the Tower of London and see the development of British coinage impacted strongly by Isaac Newton as Master of the Royal Mint, walk the laneways, and see the 18 th century
offeehouses of The City-the forerunners of the London Stock exchange, sit where Karl Marx studied in the British Museum’s Reading Room writing Das Kapital, walk the hallowed halls of Oxford, and much more. If time and budget allow an excursion to Edinburgh would include Adam Smith’s home, Panmure House, where he worked and taught and is now a center for Smithian scholarship.
This course satisfies the G perspective.
This course is only open to students who have had their applications approved by the Global Education office.
