New Course Offering: The Irish in Boston
CGS is excited to announce a new elective, The Irish in Boston, that will run as part the BU Summer Term.
The Irish in Boston is the second elective for CGS to offer outside of its core curriculum, and will use the same successful interdisciplinary approach. Students can expect to explore the literature, politics, and culture of Irish Bostonians in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, even digging into the different types of “Irishness” in Boston (who knew?!). Those taking the course can expect to learn from a four-person, expert faculty team: Associate Dean Megan Sullivan, Professors Sally Sommers Smith, Meg Tyler (also chair of the Institute for the Study of Irish Culture), and Tom Whalen. If that’s not enough, the course will also include an experiential learning component, as students will take trips around the Boston area to complement learnings from the classroom.
