Jennifer Bryan, English, teaches Medieval and Renaissance literature, Arthurian fictions, lyric poetry, and the history of the English language. She received her B.A. from Williams College and her M.A. and Ph.D. in English Literature from UCLA, and she is the author of Looking Inward: Devotional Reading and the Private Self in Late-Medieval England. Her favorite place in London is either a corner booth in the tea shop at the National Gallery, or the front seat on the top of any double-decker bus. She and Professor McGuire have been talking about doing the London Program together since their first year at Oberlin, and she is very excited about it. |

Charles McGuire, Musicology, has been living in London on and off for two decades, and studying the music and social history of Great Britain for almost as long. He fell in love with the city as an undergraduate, and has picked his research topics (Elgar and Victorian musical philanthropy) partly so that he could return there as much as possible. At Oberlin, he teaches courses in musicology—in which he tries to show his students how important London has been to the development of music as we know it for the last three centuries—and in the FYSP and XARTS programs. He received a B.A. in History and a B.Mus. in musicology from Oberlin, and a Ph.D. from Harvard. |
