Honors Courses Abroad

London: HNRS 392 and 393

• About the Program
  The courses will be taught by Dr. Jason Nice (HNRS 393) and Dr. Laura Nice (HNRS 392). In London, for HNRS 393, students will study British History in the Late Middle Ages and Renaissance periods, focusing on the ideals of leadership in both periods, and on the value of a liberal arts education for civic service.  For HNRS 392, students will study British art, literature, and theatre from the nineteenth century to the present, focusing upon the work of abolitionists, suffragettes, and soldiers who used the power of their art to advocate for social and political change. In addition to readings and discussions based on our site visits, students will complete a presentation and an essay on leadership topics.
