Participate in a three week course at St. Edmund Hall,
one of the oldest colleges of Oxford University. The course, taught by Dr. Marcia V. Godich, will be offered for
undergraduate or graduate credit...and offers the honors option for
undergraduates. The course is comprised
of seminar and individual tutorial meetings, combined with field experiences in
Oxford, London, and the countryside.
The class will
address the general questions:
à
What are the stages in intercultural
acclimatization, and the caveats
associated with them?
à
What
barriers to understanding result from differences in language and culture, and
how can we learn to overcome those barriers?
And the
particular:
à
What
are the differences between American and British English (Do you live in a flat
or drive on one? How would you like to
be knocked up in the morning...Tea or coffee?)
à
How
does an Oxford education differ from that of universities in the United States?
à
What
is meant by "The Town and Gown Controversy?"
Is it alive and well at Oxford?
à
What
sub-cultures exist in Oxford, southern rural England, and London, and how do
they differ from each other and our expectations. What parallels can we draw in the United States?
