ETN 336 Irish American Heritage and Culture: A Local Perspective
Irish Americans have played an integral role in shaping American political, economic, cultural, and social lives. This course will explore the multi-layered history and influence of Irish Americans, from the Scotch-Irish immigrants of the early 1700's to the Irish Catholic immigrants of the 1800's, from food to the arts; each aspect of the course will seek to answer the question, "What does it mean to be Irish-American?" Special emphasis will be given to the local and regional impact of the Irish-American community.
