Institution:

Carnegie Mellon University

Subject:

Description:

This course surveys Irish history from the earliest human settlements until the present day, with emphasis on the period since the sixteenth century. Our main objective is to understand the sources of conflict in modern Ireland. In order to do that, however, we look at a number of topics such as the role of religion in Irish society; the causes of population growth, movement and decline; changing forms of protest; and the formation of rival myths of the Irish past and its meaning.
