INTD 245 - Irish Studies (subtitle)

Credit(s): 4
Lecture: 4
Non-Lecture: 0
This course introduces students to the interdisciplinary field of Irish Studies. The study of the literature, art, culture, and history of Ireland draws on digital humanities methodologies as well as interdisciplinary theoretical approaches to colonial and postcolonial history, peace and reconciliation, gender, pluralism and diversity, political power, and globalism. Offerings of this course will focus on a particular topic or theme in Irish Studies, for example: historical memory and the Famine; literature, nationalism, and resistance in the early 20th century; partition, peace and reconciliation in Northern Ireland; or masculinities in Irish culture. Course work in this seminar-style class will include a mixture of discussion, analytical writing assignments, and the creation of a final research project that includes a digital component.
