CSUF COURSES:
HSS 350: London Life and Culture (3 units; GE C.3 & Z) (REQUIRED COURSE)
In this class we will explore various aspects of London life and culture. In particular, we will be attentive to the deep history of multicultural London, a city where over 300 languages are spoken today. The class will consist of a program of visits from experts and tours (such as a street art tour), tickets to live performances, and the exploration of the riches London has to offer the student visitor.
ART 311: Foundations of Modern Art (3 units) [GE C]
In the London program, we will visit a wide variety of museums and art collections across the city that hold spectacular collections of art, focusing on works from the 18th century to the end of the 19th century. In addition to painting and sculpture, we will also look at fashion, decorative arts, and architecture.
AMST 320: Women in American Society: Women Rebels: Comparative Perspectives on Women in the U.S. and U.K. (3 units) [GE E and Z]
In the London program, this course takes a comparative approach to the ways that English and American women broke barriers by challenging gender roles, undertaking reform, and redefining the terms of modern society. We make extensive use of London’s rich cultural museums to study women’s roles in the past and present. Students will visit the collections of the Victoria and Albert Museum to study the everyday fashion of women through different historical periods, and the Foundling Museum to explore issues of gender, reproduction, and the circumstances of poor and single women who could not support their children. They will take walking tours focused on literary and artistic women, traverse the landscape of suffrage campaigns, and visit contemporary, women-centered social justice centers.
HSS 495: Internship in London (3 units)
An Internship in London allows students to explore a potential career field and gain hands-on experience outside of the classroom in an international setting. The internship is designed to enrich and complement students’ coursework and allow them to apply what they have learned in their major or minor classes. Internships may take place in a variety of settings in London; they may occur in museums, libraries, service organizations, local government, or in nonprofit or corporate settings.
