Summer 2010 Highlights The 2010 Summer School will include approximately twenty-four lectures and discussion sessions by members of St Hugh’s College and other colleges with the University of Oxford on subjects ranging from art and architecture to the history of science. Lectures and discussions sessions are intended to explore the central theme of the Summer School: the view that “Oxford is not a place – it is an idea.” Featured speakers will include:
In addition to tutorials, lectures and discussion sessions, participants will visit Oxford’s famous colleges, monuments, museums, bookstores and markets, wander the city’s beautiful parks, meadows and gardens, attend a musical performance in Sir Christopher Wren’s Sheldonian Theatre and a performance of a Shakespeare play in the gardens of Wadham College. Other highlights include three full day excursions into the English countryside to such historical sites as Salisbury Cathedral, Tintern Abbey and Blenheim Palace. The centerpiece of the Summer School remains the Oxford tutorial. Each student will have weekly tutorials in an approved academic discipline of their own choosing. All tutors are members of St Hugh’s College or another constituent college within the University of Oxford. |
