Service-Learning Seminar

This Service-Learning seminar provides students with the opportunity to reflect and discuss their Service-Learning placements on a weekly basis and through written journals. The course will be taught in Spanish while in Segovia and in English while in Fes. The American Association of Community Colleges defines Service-Learning as a combination of “community service with academic instruction, focusing on critical, reflective thinking and personal and civic responsibility.

Shakespeare the Dramatist

This course begins with the premise that the plays of Shakespeare are too often taught in the classroom as difficult and rather obscure sacred texts. The aim of this course is to remind you that Shakespeare was not only a great poet, but also a great dramatist, and to show that his plays are still exciting and dynamic as theatre. Consequently, this course is structured around the Shakespeare plays which are currently in production in London and Stratford-upon-Avon, so that Shakespeare can be seen and heard as well as read.

Soccer and Nationalism in Spain and Spanish America

This class will explore the complex and intertwined history of soccer in Spain and Spanish America from the late nineteenth century to present times, using nationalism as the core thematic focus. We will study the origins of soccer in both Spain and Spanish America, the ways in which it intersected with political and ideological projects of nation-state formation, and its centrality as a powerful symbol of national and regional identities.

Travel as Transformational Learning: Practice (UO COLT 488)

Four quarter credits.Readers of Charles Dickens’ A Tale of Two Cities experience characters going to and fro, from London to Paris. You will do the same as you examine two cultures, with distinct languages, histories (sometimes as enemies), architecture, and cultural ethos. Walking the footsteps of those who did “study abroad” in London and Paris, you see the two cities as incubators of genius—and Oxford as a meeting place of genius loci in new literature, science, and arts.

Travel As Transformational Learning: Theory (UO COLT 388)

Four quarter credits.Challenged in a different environment where one does not know it all, one can become new and different to oneself; such change leads to new thoughts and possibilities for what can be created and known. In this course, taught both online and on-site, we learn from models across disciplines how study abroad can be the agency of transformational learning.

Painting Concepts: Learning from the Italian Masters

Italy has a long history of fostering creativity and innovative art forms that build on the past but look toward the future. This studio class utilizes access to important historical artworks as an inspiration for creating art from a contemporary point of view. Through firsthand study of Italian masters and the practice and understanding of a variety of painting techniques, compositional devices and color mixing, students will develop a personal body of work that applies both traditional and innovative studio practices.
