CIP Summer 2010 Programs London, England — A Laboratory for Learning May 19-June 18, 2010 Highlights London affords extraordinary opportunities for observation, experience, and interpretation. The London program for 2010 will employ the city as laboratory, workshop, textbook, poem, museum, archive, and infinitely varied resource for learning. Deeply historical and dazzlingly contemporary, London is the largest city in Europe and one of the world’s most thoroughly international cities. The depth and breadth of diversity that characterizes present-day London is unprecedented. A vast city in which more than 300 languages are spoken, London is an enormous and vibrant social and cultural experiment that compels our attention as we look to a future that will be increasingly global and urban. Academic program All students enroll in UDI 310 (1 credit) and select two or three classes for a total of 7 or 10 credits. The content and the delivery of the three courses will be thoroughly integrated throughout the program. All students will be required to participate in all site study trips (which form the largest part of the program) and in all classroom sessions, all of which will be conducted by all three faculty. It is therefore STRONGLY RECOMMENDED that students register for all three courses. Students are required to participate in UDI 220 (1 credit) during the spring 2010 semester, with two follow-up sessions in the fall 2010 semester. Combining ASI 341, ASI 345 and HST 322 creates a self-defined cluster. Honors students may earn honors credit for courses in this program. Contact Professor Wilkinson for more information. The courses that make up this integrated program bring together content from the fields of education, history, and the visual arts to create a unique learning experience focused on the city of London. We will consider several overarching thematic ideas and we will examine a wide variety of urban phenomena, interpreting them in many different ways. Through observation and analysis, students will learn to “read” and understand various forms of information and practice multiple ways of learning as means through which they will construct a meaningful and multi-faceted sense of place. ASI 341 Special Topics in Arts Study: Learning London (3 credits) Fulfills Arts Studies general education requirement and an Arts and Human Experience cluster requirement. It may also be part of a self-defined cluster when combined with the other two courses in the program. EDT 486/ASI 345 Comparative Education (3 credits) ASI 345 fulfills Social Sciences general education requirement and some cluster requirements.
