I intend to propose an Irish history undergraduate survey and could use the
advice of veterans in the subject area. Which are the outstanding programs in
the U.S. for Irish Studies? In a one-semester survey, what are the usual
chronological mileposts? Is it typical to start before the 15th century and
end with contemporary events? Is medieval Ireland considered a discrete unit
and would it be too daunting to try to include it, too?
Can any of you offer suggestions for topics to be covered, for indispensible
reading, or for valuable audio- visual supplements? Any advice would be
appreciated certainly by me and perhaps by others on the network. Elizabeth
