British Studies Seminar, University of Texas at Austin : ウィキペディア英語版 | British Studies Seminar, University of Texas at Austin British Studies, officially the Faculty Seminar on British Studies is a weekly seminar at the University of Texas at Austin that has met continually since 1975.〔See for details the collection of autobiographies produced by members of the British Studies seminar: Wm. Roger Louis (ed.), ''Burnt Orange Britannia'' (London: I.B. Tauris, 2005).〕 British Studies is directed by Wm. Roger Louis, a founding member of the seminar and a distinguished historian at the University of Texas. The seminar is sponsored by the British Studies Program at UT, a program that also appoints junior fellows annually from among UT's faculty, and offers Churchill Scholarships to graduate students and undergraduates. The seminar has produced a book series—with the Harry Ransom Humanities Research Center and I.B. Tauris of London— containing a selection of lectures delivered to the seminar: ''Adventures with Britannia'' (1995), ''More Adventures with Britannia'' (1998), ''Still More Adventures with Britannia'' (2003), ''Yet More Adventures with Britannia'' (2005), ''Penultimate Adventures with Britannia'' (2008), and ''Ultimate Adventures with Britannia'' (2009). The British Studies seminar is held in the Tom Lea Room of the Harry Ransom Humanities Research Center. "Imagine the setting," writes Wm. Roger Louis, the director. "Dark wood paneling, the occasional Topolski paintings of Evelyn Waugh and Graham Greene, and spacious glass windows. A magnificent seminar table overlooks a courtyard graced with live oaks and the scattered ashes of one of the founding members of the seminar. On arrival at the seminar, the participants help themselves to a glass of Tio Pepe or Dry Sack sherry, though teetotalers prefer cranberry juice. Sherry has come to symbolize the attitude. The seminar meets to examine in a civilized way whatever happens to be on the agenda, Scottish or Indian, Canadian or Jamaican, English or Australian. The discussion is civil, but sometimes grows a bit heated. What makes the debate engrossing is the clash of different perspectives—including those of lawyers, physicians, retired ambassadors, and others of the larger Austin community."〔Wm. Roger Louis, ''Burnt Orange Britannia'' (London: I.B. Tauris, 2005), pp. v-vi.〕 ==Notable Seminar Lectures== A full list of all lectures is available in ''Burnt Orange Britannia'' 〔Wm. Roger Louis, ''Burnt Orange Britannia'' (London: I.B. Tauris, 2005), pp. 907-952.〕
