I’m sure we’ve mentioned what a multitalented bunch of teachers and staff we have working for us! Last night we attended the launch of journalism and political science tutor @andrewwhiteheadbbc’s latest book ‘The Lives of Freda’ at the Nehru Centre in Mayfair. It’s the biography of a truly remarkable woman, and we can’t wait to read it!
More features on our staff and faculty’s ‘other jobs’ coming soon!

Street art doesn’t just mean graffiti! Anyone noticed these tiny artworks on the Millennium Bridge? Manky old blobs of discarded chewing gum brought to life by the awesome ‘Chewing Gum Man’ Ben Wilson. People often encourage you to ‘look up’ when in London, but sometimes looking down can be just as rewarding!

Happy Thanksgiving from all at @geo.london! We’ve just spent a fun 3 hours at the @kimptonfitzroy’s Neptune Restaurant, feasting on corn, chowder, turkey, stuffing, candied yams (or sweet potatoes as we call them here!), mashed potato, green beans, stuffed pumpkins, tarte tatin, pecan pie, apricot semolina...and it was all delicious! We at GEO in London think that although being immersed in UK culture is kinda the point of our students coming here, it’s still important to integrate that little taste of home at Thanksgiving, and to come together and share food and laughs and, of course, thanks! And we are thankful to be able to share it with them 😊🥧🍗🍠🌽💫

Guess who won Best Supporting Actress at this year’s British Horror Film Festival Awards! That’s right, our very own Shakespeare prof and jobbing actor Dr Jean Elliott (stage name Ellie Dickens!) for her role in short film ‘Child’. It’s wonderful to have such a multi-talented bunch of local faculty, as it gives them real depth and breadth as educators. Plus it’s really cool! Well done Jean/Ellie! 💫🏆🎭🎬

Possibly the best Houses of Parliament selfies you will ever see! 😆 But to be fair to Andrew, this is as far as you can go into the Palace of Westminster with a camera so it was never going to be a glamorous shot of the group languishing on the back benches!
A tour of UK Parliament is a bit tricky to book because the available dates are determined by when Parliament is ‘sitting’. Thanks to the forthcoming impromptu general election we were able to secure last-minute tickets for our fall Britain Today class. It’s a very useful addition to this course, especially at this politically interesting time! And who better to accompany them than their teacher Andrew (who also happens to be former editor of BBC World Service News). #studyabroad #studyaway #london #ukparliament #housesofparliament #houseofcommons #brexit #generalelection2019 #ukpolitics #britain #britishculture #geoinlondon #geoabroad #geolondon #ahainternational #studyinlondon #internship #studyabroadinlondon #bbc #highereducation #travel #europe #westminster #ukgovernment

London certainly does excel at festive lights! 💫✨ #Repost @uw_eduabroad with @get_repost

Did you know that tomorrow is the *200th* anniversary of the creation of Regent Street AND it will Regent Street Christmas Lights switch-on celebration? The whole street will be pedestrianised, with an added bonus of The Script taking to the stage.
As of tomorrow, I think it's official to say that Christmas has started. ❄️🎅❄️
Thanks to our former study abroad student @ceciwuchingsze for making us feel extra Christmasy with this photo.

‘London: Biography of a City’ class excursion to Westminster Abbey yesterday with Dr Keith. (Thanks to @lilynwalker for the 📸) Many early English monarchs are buried in Westminster Abbey, including Edward the Confessor, Henry V, Elizabeth I and even Scottish queen Mary Stuart. You can also see graves of and memorials to scientists Charles Darwin, Isaac Newton, Stephen Hawkin; musicians and composers Ralph Vaughan Williams, GF Handel; writers Charles Dickens, Geoffrey Chaucer, Aphra Behn, Thomas Hardy, Robert Graves, Wilfred Owens and hundreds more. Plus, since it was recently Remembrance Sunday and Armistice Day (a bit like Veterans Day in the US), there were moving displays of red poppies to commemorate those who have lost their lives as a result of war.

Ahhhhh... 😍
One of the benefits of central london being too expensive to live in on a normal salary is that south Londoners (ie Mary and Amanda) get to cross the River Thames every day during their commute! The journey may take 90 minutes but views like this are worth it!

GEO in London had its inaugural fall festival this afternoon! Somehow we managed to squeeze an hour of pumpkin-painting, Hocus-Pocus-watching, and treat-gobbling in between classes! And we didn’t get paint on the carpet, don’t worry! As GEO’s resident American (and someone who studied abroad four times while at college!), programmes and housing coordinator Kalyn appreciates how students might be missing that little taste of home, so she organised this (and made about 7 trips to the shop as she could only carry 2 or 3 pumpkins at a time!) Thanks Kalyn! 🦇🎃👻🕸🍂🍁🍫🍭🧁 #studyabroad #studyaway #fall #fallfestival #fallsemester #fallquarter #studyabroadinlondon #pumpkin #halloween #autumn #hocuspocus #pumpkinpainting #trickortreat #geoabroad #geolondon #geoinlondon #ahainternational #travel #adventure #atasteofhome

We’re offering loads of fab new programmes and courses next year!
Gender, Race and Class in London - Fall 2020

Check out the main Global Education Oregon website for details and to apply
https://geo.uoregon.edu/programs/united-kingdom/gender-race-and-class-in-london; and see the dedicated Instagram account @wgsslondon
Application deadline: 15 April 2020
Arrival: 6 September 2020
Departure: 9 December 2020
Who we are and what we do, monarchies and museums, churches and brothels, detective novels and Shakespeare’ plays, all are shaped by gender. As one of the most cosmopolitan cities in the world, London is a great place to explore the workings of gender, race, and social class in history, society, art, architecture, science, and religion. From its ancient pagan religions to modern-day churches, mosques, and temples, from historical to contemporary monarchs, from the beginnings of the detective novel to today’s captivating crime dramas, London is a case study in interlocking social differences and structures of power.
You will enroll in three Gender Studies courses. Gender, Race, Class and Religions and Law and Order: UK will be taught by Professor Susan Shaw @susanshaw1960, and the History of Sex and Gender in the UK will be taught by Dr. Amanda Milburn @geolondon.amanda. You may also add a Liberal Arts in London course (exact offerings to be confirmed). Your classes will combine classroom learning with experiential excursions that provide access to important locations and individuals within the United Kingdom. There is also an internship option.

Hey seagull, slow down! 😆 London is often seen as a gateway to the rest of Europe, and our students often take advantage of the many cheap flights to the continent while they’re here. This is great, and we encourage exploration, but London is also a fantastic destination itself and you’ve chosen to come and live here, so instead of jetting out of the country every weekend, maybe really take some time getting to know this beautiful city and immersing yourself in the culture. Or perhaps take a train to another part of the UK to see how it compares? #studyabroad #culturalimmersion #studyaway #london #visitengland #visitscotland #visitwales #visitnorthernireland #travel #studyabroadinlondon #studyinlondon #adventure #staycation #londonstaycation #thingstodoinlondon #daytrips #explorelondon #exploreuk #greatjamesstreet #londonskyline #londonarchitecture #bluesky
