United Nations Sustainable Development Goal 4 – Quality Education: This goal promotes lifelong learning. Museums and libraries provide inclusive cultural education in London.

When Harry Potter sneaks into the Restricted Section of Hogwarts Library in The Sorcerer’s Stone because he can’t get “a specially signed note” of permission, readers get a vision of the library as arcane, old, off-limits, magical, and powerful. Hogwarts Library is, of course, a fiction. But Virginia Woolf famously suggested something similar about the libraries of Oxford and Cambridge (arguably the models for Hogwarts). As a woman, she noted in A Room of One’s Own, she would need “a letter of introduction” to enter. Some of Britain’s oldest and most prestigious libraries remain off-limits to the public. Since the eighteenth century, however, Britain’s cosmopolitan center in London has led the world in building public educational institutions such as museums and libraries. This course will take advantage of London’s rich landscape of museums and libraries—well over 200 with public exhibits in the metropolitan area—to explore the city’s public culture, ask who has access to it, and what social values these diverse institutions celebrate. In addition to visiting some of the city’s grandest examples, such as the Tate, we will check out lesser-known examples, such as Pollock’s Toy Museum. We will prepare for our visits by reading fictional and historical works that ask, aside from their collections, what’s important about museums and libraries? We’ll learn that, although not magical like Hogwarts Library, they are indeed powerful cultural institutions.

United Nations Sustainable Development Goal 16 – Peace, Justice, and Strong Institutions: This goal strengthens institutions and public engagement. Theater and performance reflect democratic dialogue.

What if we went to the theaters of London and demanded actors replay our favorite scenes? What if we hurled rotten cabbages at actors we didn’t like? Today we might be arrested for such riotous interruptions. But in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, such disruptive behavior was part of the regular theater experience. Recent scholarship suggests, in fact, that audience engagement made up a crucial part of theatrical performance and, more importantly, a crucial part of negotiating a modern world where the ideal of freedom ran up against the reality of enslavement, disenfranchisement, and impoverishment. The theatre was as much a stage for public performance as it was for plays. This course asks how those early dramas of the modern world continue to influence our contemporary experience. We will address that question by attending several performances in London, from new productions of old works to first-time productions of fringe theater and even stand-up comedy. To get a better sense of London’s leading role in staging public performances, we will explore the city’s famous busking scene as well as Shakespeare’s Globe Theater. And to prepare for the unsettling experience of entering the performative commons, we’ll review some basic theatrical conventions before leaving ��ɬֱ��.
