With the current ecological crises, environmental thought and politics have boomed. Global climate change, energy debates, fracking, genetically modified organisms, have all become important political issues. Political theory helps problematize even the mundane, going beyond what we take for self-evident (including, for instance, "Nature"). In response to problems, theorists create concepts. One of the threads running through this class will concern the dualism nature/human, and how diverse environmentalists have addressed it critically.

In this class we will examine the history and memory of Ireland, centered around key events in Irish history, including the Ulster Plantation, 1641 Rebellion, Cromwellian Invasion, 1798 Rebellion, the O'Connellite Campaigns, The Famine, 1916, and the War of Independence.
