Course change!

Change of plans! I decided that instead of Reading Shakespeare my eight-week course will be Foreign Policy Analysis with Mr. Alex Anievas. Here is the course description:

So...my final classes are Architecture: The Gothic Experience, Terror and Faith: England in the Age of Reformation and Revolution, and Foreign Policy Analysis :)

Courses

Here are the courses I have chosen so far! The program runs from July 4 to August 27, and I will be taking two four-week modules (Modules 1 and 2) and one eight-week module (Module 3) within that time period. The links I have included below give more details about each course, including the reading list and information about each professor.

Module 1: Architecture: The Gothic Experience (Dr. David Oldfield)

Module 2: Terror and Faith: England in the Age of Reformation and Revolution (Dr. Matthew Clark)

Module 3: Reading Shakespeare (Dr. George Yeats)

Lots of fascinating reading material, field trips to gorgeous Gothic cathedrals, Westminster Abbey, and plays at the Globe Theatre...who could ask for more? :)

Welcome!

Welcome to my blog on the Pembroke King's Summer Programme at the University of Cambridge! I hope some of you will find my posts and pics entertaining, although admittedly I am doing this mostly to record my own memories. Enjoy, and thanks so much for reading!
