Well, what a strange few weeks!

All of our London staff and faculty are now working from home. As you can see, Mary has acquired a couple of feline admin assistants! 😸😸 Mary, kalyn and Iain are all busy planning for the year ahead as best they can given the changing situation. Here they are having a Zoom chat this morning 😊 The show must go on, even if it’s with a slightly different script!
Our spring semester students left the U.K. last week and we only had a couple of days to amend their courses so we could start teaching online as of yesterday. The experiential learning part of the programme is obviously out the window, but students will still receive expert tuition and advice and, very importantly, university credit! 👍

Keep an eye on the main GEO site for any programme updates (you can find the link via their Instagram @geoabroad). There probably won’t be all that many posts on here for a little while but we wanted you to know that we’re all safe and well, and we hope you are too.
And do say hi in the comments - we’d love to hear from you! You folks are the reason we do (and love!) our jobs. 🙂

Stonehenge, sunshine, sorority squat, and Susie (reading from Thomas Hardy’s Tess of the D’Urbervilles) - a winning combination for a programme excursion! 💫

Edinburgh, you were cold and rainy and even a bit snowy, but you’re beautiful and we still love you!

It’s Kalyn’s birthday! She mentioned she’d like a piñata to remind her of home, so her amazing colleagues obliged 😇
And now we have a pile of unusual British sweets for our students to sample!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY KALYN! 🥳

New colleague alert! Iain is our programmes assistant. He’ll be taking students on excursions, writing some exciting new content for the website, dealing with queries, and generally being a thoroughly decent chap! (He didn’t write this either!) Iain was born in Nevada and grew up in South Carolina before leaving home at sixteen to study creative writing at a boarding school for the arts. He majored in philosophy at Stanford University and spent two terms abroad at Oxford, where he spent all his money at one specific kebab truck. After graduating, Iain came to London on a teaching fellowship at St Paul’s School and stayed on an Irish passport and the dream of a brooding and glamorous life in his adopted city. Still, the Clemson Tigers will always be his team. He eats two bananas a day and goes to the cinema almost every week. In the future he hopes to teach.

A sunny spin on the London Eye yesterday for our new liberal arts students! Welcome one and all to our great city and our (though we say it ourselves) fabulous programme! 😊

Lots of exciting changes all round 😊

Good morning from GEO (and the 1st Duke of Wellington, Arthur Wellesley on his horse there!). We’ve been having some lovely crisp bright winter weather in London recently, and hopefully it’ll stay that way to welcome our spring semester students next week!

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.
