Temple Summer in London
Gender in Drama and Film
Explore how British theatre and cinema have shaped — and been shaped by — evolving ideas of gender and masculinity in the decades since World War II. This summer program invites you to study in the heart of London, engaging directly with artistic works, history, and culture. Through class discussions, analysis of film and drama, and visits to iconic cultural institutions such as the British Film Institute, National Theatre, Museum of London Docklands, Regent’s Park, and the Black Cultural Archives, you’ll gain a deeper understanding of how gender has been represented and reimagined across the 20th and 21st centuries.
As a program participant, you will enroll in either English 3020: Special Topics in English: Representations of Gender in Film and Drama (3 credits) or English 3900: Honors Special Topics in English: Representations of Gender in Film and Drama (3 credits).
