Dr. Meghan Callahan will be making her first visit to campus as director of the Ithaca College London Center during the week of October 17. During her visit, Dr. Callahan will be offering a lecture inspired by the class she is teaching at the London Center, Underground London. From the syllabus: "This course examines the histories of hidden London lives in terms of both the physical and conceptual underground. Underground London is not just the Tube (though we will explore that too). It’s the series of physical and historic layers that have built up over time, from the Romans to the modern era, all creating the London that we live in (and on) today. The goal of this course is to have students question what it means to be underground, through examination of social history, archaeology, and art history. What do new archaeological discoveries reveal about the past? How have notions of what should be hidden and what can be revealed changed over time? What can we learn about ourselves and others when underground lives are brought to the surface? By examining the past, we can learn about the present and consider how we might affect the future." If you are a student considering a semester at the London Center, this is a great way to find out more about what classes are like across the pond.
