Learn how you can participate in the 2025 J-Term study tour to England: Writers in Context: Reading Jane Austen’s “Persuasion” by attending an information sessions at 6 p.m. Monday, Sept. 9, in Lentz Hall 318.

This short-term study abroad course offers students the opportunity to immerse themselves in the cultural, historical, and geographic contexts of the literature they study. Each offering focuses on a specific work, author, or movement from the world of English literature and takes place in a location of relevance and importance to the works under study. This year, we will read “Persuasion,” Jane Austen’s novel of love, the sea, and second chances. The tour will include a week in Bath and a week in London, with excursions to Bristol, Lyme, Hampshire, and Portsmouth.

At the session, we will discuss the course; go over our tentative itinerary, costs, and other logistical details; answer any questions you may have; and let you know how to sign up. New transfer and first-year students are welcome!
