UW in Scotland: 2023 Courses

Course Description:

Utilizing Scotland and England as a setting and construct, this adventure involves meaningful discussion of Enlightenment philosophy, visual art, and architecture.  Earlier monuments, such as castles and cathedrals, as emblems of power and authority, will be explored to contextualize the history of this region. In Edinburgh, visits to museums will prompt consideration of the plasticity of identity in 18th-century portraiture. Participants will also stay at Abbotsford in the bucolic Lowlands to further understand Sir Walter Scott as an agent of change in Scottish history. In London, lavish palaces, Enlightenment-era homes, and museums will facilitate further engagement in this potent time period.
