Earn 3 credits of UH 380 or NATRS 312 and visit three places in Ireland
One island, two countries: contemporary Ireland, north and south, has sustained and developed its rich and highly textured culture in spite of numerous invasions, waves of immigration, and centuries of war and deforestation. Despite (or perhaps because of) its often traumatic history, this beautiful island has a world famous reputation for hospitality and a remarkable willingness to share its history, culture and environment with all who come to its shores. Our course provides a window into Irish history, culture, and its natural environment. Students will discover how the different histories of the north and the south have affected the natural environment of the country and the development and contemporary expression of music, literature, arts and the management of its world-renowned landscapes. We will also learn about the country’s efforts to restore its forest resources after centuries of exploitation We will spend time in 3 places on the island, one near the border of the North and South, another being Dublin, and the third County Kerry in the West of Ireland.
