Study Abroad EN1015, EN1011, FY1011, FY1001 This study abroad course will introduce students to the genre of travel writing as they travel through Britain and experience British culture and traditions. Students will travel primarily by train, providing an excellent opportunity to experience the British landscape. The students and their instructor will explore some of the major cities, towns, and coastal communities that define modern Britain. They will also examine the memoirs, journals, and narratives of adventure and escape associated with these locales as they learn about the evolution of the modern travel book. From the heyday of travel writing in the mid 1800s and early 1900s to the post-tourism travel writing of the late 20th century, students will learn about travel writing techniques through a study of exemplary short works, and they will apply many of these techniques as they compile their own written accounts of their travels throughout Britain. In their writing, students will be encouraged to draw on the geographical, psychological, and cultural maps that shape the travel writer's work and study of his/her subjects. In particular, students will be encouraged to examine and reflect upon the cultural factors that shape the individual's observations and experience. This course will meet the diversity graduation requirement through a close examination of British culture and traditions-including the issues of class, religion, and politics that shape the travel writer's observations and experience.
