The purpose of the dialogue is to familiarize students with the people and the culture of England and the British Empire. The emphasis of this Dialogue is the city of London and its vast history. Students will attend lectures about the culture and history of England, as well as, produce an 8-10 minute documentary. In addition to the lectures students will visit many of the key sights in London and the country including The Tower of London, Windsor Castle, Hampton Court Palace, Leeds Castle, Canterbury, Stonehenge, Bath, The British Museum, Westminster Abbey, and Victoria and Albert Museum, and explore the Parks and Gardens such as Hyde Park, Kensington Gardens, etc. Students will interact with local citizens and students from all over the world to produce and edit a documentary on a subject of their choice (which will be proposed in the Spring of 2013). During the dialogue, students will maintain a photo journal or blog documenting their experiences. They will also write extensive reaction papers on two topics associated with the lectures or places from our travels and their interactions with the locals. Experience in media production is not a requirement but they must have enthusiasm to explore another culture and to experience first hand how theory can provide a deeper, more complex understanding of the British culture and history.

At the core of an Oxford education is the tutorial system, where students meet one-on-one or in small groups with a subject tutor who will provide constructive guidance and feedback on your intellectual journey. In most cases, Oxford students focus on one particular subject (like biochemistry or modern history) without general or elective study in subjects outside their specialty. Students meet with tutors and attend lectures for eight weeks a term during three, ten-week terms a year. During the long breaks between teaching terms, students consolidate and extend their reading and work in a subject. You and your principal tutor will decide on your major and minor tutorial concentrations for that term. For instance, a student in English may be directed to focus on Shakespeare's tragedies and 19th-century women's writing. Additionally, your principal tutor will appoint some of his or her colleagues to supervise your tutorials in each area. You will meet these tutors on a weekly or bi-weekly basis over the term. You can expect your principal tutor to assign readings, lectures, practical laboratory work, and a topic for you to prepare and present, often in the form of a tutorial essay. These essays, based on extensive independent reading, are concentrated expressions of your analysis of each weekly topic. You can expect to prepare one or two essays per week, which your tutor will critique and help you develop. Each term awards a total of 12 semester hours of credit, apportioned from three to eight credits for each tutorial depending on the number of meetings and proportion of time the tutorial requires.
