Temple Summer in London
Literature, Drama, and Film
This program explores London through the lens of literary figures, both canonical and those from historically underrepresented groups. “Representations of Gender in Film and Drama” addresses how society shapes our understanding of gender. It engages shifting gender dynamics in post-war England; racialized masculinities, postcolonial critique, and class; and conceptions of gender defined by post-industrial British society.
A key element of this program is how our learning is enriched by visits to various literary and cultural sites in London, sites that connect meaningfully with our course texts.
