The Irish Experience

This course will examine the economic, political and social developments in Ireland, from the Act of Union to "the Troubles" in Northern Ireland. In particular we will focus on the divisive issues of land ownership, religious sectarianism and the articulation of a national identity as we chart Ireland's progress towards independence. We will also discuss Irish emigration to America, and the influence of Irish-American nationalism on Irish political movements. (Gen. Ed. HS)

Ancient Rome

Gen Ed HS. This course follows the history of the Roman people from the founding of the city by Romulus in 753 BCE to the conversion of the emperor Constantine to Christianity in 312 CE. We will examine how Roman authors, archaeology, coins, sculpture, and human remains help us understand the Roman past in all its diversity. (Gen. Ed. HS)
