A day out at Hampton Court—Four Birmingham-Southern students are learning everything from the oral tradition of early English literature to the queens and kings of the Tudor Dynasty at the 42nd annual British Studies in Oxford Program this summer. The students will be attending the six-week program through August 12 at St. John's College in Oxford, England, for two units of academic credit. This year’s theme is “Britain in the Renaissance.” While living and dining among the 16th-century courtyards, the students are attending daily lectures in the arts, history, literature, science, and philosophy. They’re also getting a chance to do some sightseeing around the city, which has included riding on a bus to and from a play at the Globe Theatre and visiting the Derbyshire equestrian community. Pictured recently at the Hampton Court Palace, the home of Henry VIII and other Tudors, are (from left to right) Emily Roebuck, a senior English major; Fairfax Davis, a junior psychology major; Megan Snider, a senior history major and Harrison Scholar; and Sarah Watts, a senior religion major. Dr. John Tatter, BSC professor of English, is in England with the students.
