My very dear friend Ellen lives in Germany – her husband David Beard is the Academic Director for the Oxford Experience, a study program that takes place in Oxford each summer.
This would be SO cool – meals are taken in the Great Hall at Christ Church, which was the setting for the dining hall scenes in the Harry Potter movies. They have a really interesting program of subjects, and I wish that I could do this. Maybe some year.
Ellen has been telling me about these for years, and each year I grow increasingly more and more envious. I’d do it just for the pleasure of re-visiting favorite scenes from Dorothy L. Sayer’s Gaudy Night everywhere I went.
If you have an opportunity to take one or more of the weeklong classes, go for it. They recently got a write-up in the New York Times and expect that their places will be filled quickly.
