Join us to learn more about the CGIS study abroad program Global Course Connections (GCC): London, UK - Literary Monsters! (Register via the Sessions link listed)

GCCs offer a unique opportunity to take what students learn on campus at U-M and apply it abroad in a fun and exciting hands-on class taught by a U-M professor. GCCs include two components: An on-campus course during the winter semester and a 3-week, off-campus field experience that takes place during the following spring (May-June).

For the Literary Monsters program, students travel to London to explore themes of monstrosity throughout classic literature for 3+ weeks abroad in the places that directly inspired the stories! Visit the graveyard of St. Pancras Church, home to the grave of Mary Shelley's mother and in some ways the birthplace of her novel Frankenstein. Wander through the ruins of Whitby Abbey, located in the coastal town of Whitby, where Dracula first makes his arrival to England. Walk the streets of the West End in London, following the footsteps of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde.
