Secrets and Spies in London
May 25-June 1, 2027
Your Faculty Guide: Justin Hunt, Adjunct Professor, History
This course examines the hidden lives of London spies from the 16th to the 21st century. From Guy Fawkes to James Bond, London has provided the setting for real and fictional underground networks where spies, traitors, and patriots have operated for centuries. Women spies operated in support of King Charles I in the 17th century, and the Allied forces in World War II. Visits include Churchill’s War Rooms, a James Bond walk, and a day trip to Cambridge.
Jane Austen's London and Beyond
June 1-9, 2027
Your Faculty Guide: Jamaica Baldwin, Assistant Professor, Writing
For over 250 years, Jane Austen's books have continued to excite and inspire. Is Austen someone who celebrates or critiques her world and its values? Why do her stories resonate across time, places, and cultures? Why do her novels work so well in other mediums? We will engage these questions and more as we explore the places that inspired the author and her characters. Through walking tours, theatre experiences, writing workshops, and book discussions, participants will engage, reflect, and add their voices to the Austen legacy through their own original work.
Victorian London and the Birth of the Modern Mind
June 5-12, 2027
Your Faculty Guide: Craig Duncan, Professor, Philosophy and Religion
Victorian London was the crucible of the modern world. In this immersive course, we explore how thinkers such as Charles Dickens, Charles Darwin, and John Stuart Mill shaped our modern ideas. Using London as our classroom, we combine short readings with visits to some of the city’s key sites. Museums, historic locations, and a traditional London pub (or two!) become spaces for conversation and reflection. Along the way, we’ll ask: What makes a good society? What does it mean to be human? And how do these Victorian debates still influence—and challenge—the way we think about happiness, progress, and human nature today?
British Art Across the Centuries
June 12-19, 2027
Your Faculty Guide: Meghan Callahan, Director, Ithaca College London Center
This course explores the history of British art, from medieval "English work" embroideries to contemporary artists such as Tracey Emin and Hew Locke. Along the way, we'll ask questions such as: Why was the great art of the Tudor era mainly produced by Italian immigrants? And how did William Hogarth use his prints to satirize 18th-century upper-class society? We'll also confront the thorny matter of looted art, while standing before the Parthenon Marbles and the Benin Bronzes at the British Museum. Additional visits include the Victoria and Albert Museum, Sir John Soane's Museum, and the Tate.
