British Studies

I am currently a graduate student at the University of Southern Mississippi.  My educational background is a BA in Sociology with a focus on international policies and a certificate in Community Economic Development, both completed at Simon Fraser University. 

 

I have worked in a Canadian public library setting for the past 16 years and I am curious how libraries operate in different countries.  During this adventure, I discovered public libraries are often referred to as "lending libraries".

​

The British Studies program is offered through the University of Southern Mississippi and it is taught in London, England.  The classroom size was 16 dedicated scholars with a passion for literacy.  In England, a masters degree is referred to as a post-graduate degree; therefore, the blog subtitle reflects one of the many lessons learned during this program.
