Abstract

This article provides an account of teaching London’s cultural history on a semester-long, first-year undergraduate study-abroad course at Northeastern University London (NUL) using a multi-authored, case-study approach. It consists of an extended introduction by the course leader and a course instructor followed by seven contributions from current and former instructors, most of whom are still working at NUL, discussing examples of best practice in experiential learning in the humanities. Its intended audiences are teachers and lecturers of English and visual culture, of London, of pedagogy, and of other kinds of learning with a local, place-bound scope, as well as readers interested generally in transmitting London’s cultural past to learners and citizens in the present.
