From June 20th to July 9th, 2010, this blog will follow the adventures of a University of Maryland study-abroad class in London, England. We will be participating in both the London Pride Festival and the London Literature Festival, meeting with local scholars, gallery directors, and writers, and attending theatrical, musical, and literary events. Follow along with us!

Sign of the Four

Our class is off to a good start: two days of walking the city and discussing everything from sexual topographies and Victorian lamp-posts to E. M. Forster and Michel Foucault. In the category of personal achievements, I think I've now figured out the London bus system, which had always eluded me. Dinner at a French bistro capped off our first day together, much deserved by this jet-lagged and foot-sore but still enthusiastic crew.

We now turn the blog over to our students, who'll take turns reporting on our adventures. Expectations are high.
