 Irish Studies

Description

Irish Studies provides an interdisciplinary exploration of Irish history, culture and society over the past two hundred years that takes particular account of Ireland's relationships with Australia and with Europe.

While attention is paid to issues such as identity, ethnicity, and 'nation-building', and the history of their contestation in Ireland, the principal focus is on ways these can be situated within readings of the cultural, social and political forces that shaped Ireland's interaction with Australia and Europe.

From being subject to the British Empire and thus a major source-country for the European settlement of Australia, Ireland has become a wealthy, technologically advanced, highly educated and culturally sophisticated European nation.
