Messages to America: Photographing British Popular Culture, with trip to England (March 11-21, 2009)
Ken Hohing (khohing@camden.rutgers.edu)
Fine Arts, Graduate Liberal Studies

A photography-based course consisting of classroom seminars in conjunction with an International Studies tour to England during spring break in 2009. The course will focus on basic camera operation and techniques for portraiture and landscape photography. Students will be required to attend pre and post trip seminars to be scheduled in early spring. Locations in England include London, Bath, Stonehenge, and Liverpool. Grade credit can be earned through participation in the group photography project "Messages to America," which investigates societal issues and international perceptions through portraiture and sociological data collection. Student-proposed projects must be approved by the appropriate academic department and the instructor.

No prerequisite or prior photographic knowledge is required. Students must supply their own camera equipment.
