Cross and Crown in London, England

In London, the students and professor will be housed in flats in Richmond Court. Full English breakfasts are included. Students will be responsible for other meals in London. With Imperial College as home base, the class will be within walking distance from tube stations and in close proximity to all things Tudor: St. James Palace, Lambeth Palace, Westminster and Whitehall. Hampton Court Palace and Windsor Castle are a short train ride away as well.

The first half of the Cross and Crown course on campus through lectures and reading will provide historical background of the Tudor monarchy that enables understanding and analysis of the cultural development of England. The second portion of this course, two weeks in England, is designed to provide a vivid travel experience with immersion in English culture and encourages analysis of England's cultural and ecclesiastical development. Journaling and daily meetings will guide this understanding and analysis.

Bring layered travel clothing: England in June is most likely mild and rainy, or hot and dry. You'll want to be prepared for all types of weather. Comfortable walking shoes are a must, as is an umbrella and all bathroom necessities. Our rooms will have all linens and pillows provided.

Students will register for the Religious Studies Special Topics class during Summer II. There are no pre-requisites. Register for the trip and make deposits. Students must have a current passport.
