SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Study Abroad Info Session: GCC London\, UK - Literary Monsters
DESCRIPTION:Join us for this virtual Info Session to learn more about the CGIS: Global Course Connections (GCC) in London\, UK - Literary Monsters study abroad program for Spring 2027! Unable to Join? Register for the Info Session and even if you can't make it\, you'll automatically be sent a recording. GCC Program Model​​​​Global Course Connections (GCC) programs allow students to participate in a field-based extension of selected U-M courses. Students enroll for specific courses in the fall or winter semester and then travel for 3 weeks with classmates to field sites where they will put into practice what they have learned in their course. Instructor permission is required to register\, and courses are offered through individual academic departments.Why choose a GCC program?​​​​​Unique UM faculty-led programs are a great way to maximize learning during a short-term study abroad experience.Preparation in the classroom before you go abroad makes it easy to hit the ground running with good cultural context.GCC programs allow for close-knit relationships between students and faculty.  You get to know your team well throughout the semester leading up to the field component.GCC London- Literary Monsters OverviewMoving among the people and streets of London and studying the political and cultural power historically centered there\, students will deepen their understanding of the cultural and geographic origins and histories of British literary monsters such as Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein and Robert Louis Stevenson’s Mr. Hyde. The layered geography of the city itself\, its neighborhoods and institutions and cemeteries\, will become our classroom as well as an additional kind of course text\, as we unpack the anxieties about foreignness\, status\, and marginalization that tales of monstrosity have documented and critiqued. Building on concepts studied throughout the Winter semester\, students will have rich new opportunities to think about what monstrosity means in this particular material setting and historical moment\, visit London's past imaginatively and in some sense quite literally\, and continue to discover what kind of monster stories they themselves have to tell.
