Lewis & Clark Around the World

Programs associated with Lewis & Clark College, Portland OR

England

Overseas programs on this site focus on the arts in England, especially in London, and the relationship of music, theater, and the visual arts to English culture. Although site programs focus on the London arts scene, they take weekend field trips to such sites as St. Ives (St. Ives Tate Gallery), Bath, York, and Cambridge.  At least one longer weekend field trip is taken outside of England to Scotland or Wales.


London Spring 2017

This program is designed by the Psychology Department and focuses on social issues and the provision of social services in England, especially in London, and the relationship of psychology and the social sciences to community welfare.  In addition to an internship placement at social welfare agencies in London, students will focus on relevant social and economic questions through classes, lectures, group discussions, field trips, and attendance at cultural events. The program is open to Psychology majors who have completed the introductory sequence of Intro Psychology statistics, and Psychology Methodology; to other Social Science majors who have completed Intro Psych and their programs’ quantitative and research methods courses; and to other majors who have relevant and comparative preparation. Although most of our time will be spent in London, group and individual travel to outlying communities will enable students to experience the social welfare issues and provision in a variety of settings.

London Spring 2016

In addition to attending weekly concerts, plays, and visiting galleries and museums, students will embrace social and economic questions related to the arts through classes, lectures and group discussions. Binding us together will be a consideration of how the arts reflect our conditions (past and present), including aspects of political and economic environments, and issues of corporate, private and government sponsorship.
