ENGL 30109 - Migration and Identity in the New Ireland

Institution:

University of Notre Dame

Subject:

English

Description:

In less than two decades, the Republic of Ireland has shifted from a relatively poor country with a high level of national, racial, and ethnic homogeneity to a country with the world's fourth highest per capita income experiencing an exponential expansion of cultural diversity. One of the names used to describe this shift is "New Ireland," and this course will discuss the cultural dimensions of this term. We will examine selections from contemporary Irish literature and film which contribute to this analysis and contextualize our discussions with legal, political, and economic approaches to Irish social issues. Class work will include several short papers, a long research paper, and an exam.
