                             Oxford '82 Summer Program





        Requested approval from the Faculty Senate to offer the following

        courses in our summer at Oxford Program in the Summer of 1982:  



        Literature 373.1:  Shakespeare (3 s.h.) 



             A general study of the historical background and major

             critical works on Shakespeare with particular emphasis on the

             plays to be performed by the Royal Shakespeare Company at

             nearby Stratford-on-Avon.  Students enrolled in the course

             will attend performances at Stratford-on-Avon as well as visit

             Shakespeare's birthplace and Anne Hathaway's cottage.  In

             addition, they may enjoy the various Shakespearian

             performances presented in the gardens of Oxford colleges.  



        Art 373.1:  Art Treasures of Oxford (3 s.h.) 



             A straightforward account of the art and techniques of

             European art from c.1300 to c.1900 with the emphasis on the

             works of art which are at hand and can be studied in Oxford;

             not a conventional history but a selective survey of some of

             the major events and styles seen through the material in local

             collections.  



        Political Science/Economics 373.1:  Contemporary Britain:  Politics

        and Economics 



             This course will consider the present state of Britain,

             particularly the problematic relationship with Europe, the

             effects of its postwar political economic policy, and the

             effects of its membership in the European economic community. 



        Political Science/History 373.2:  Britain and World War II 



             This course will focus upon the causes of World War II and the

             nature and consequences of Britain's involvement in it.  The

             policies of Winston Churchill and his government, the grand

             strategies of the combatants, and the immediate and long-term

             consequences of the war to Britain will be examined in detail.

             Students in this class may visit war museums and other

             significant sites concerning British participation in the war. 



        We have received approval from the chairmen of all the departments

        affected to have the courses offered for academic credit.  In

        addition, we have detailed course lists and vitas for the teachers

        which I can provide for you if necessary.  If there are any other

        questions concerning these courses, please let me know.
