Ireland: Sustainable Stories of the Border Counties
Journey to Ireland鈥檚 northern counties for 9 days over Spring Break!
Explore the stories of survival, beauty, conflict, and resolution found in Dublin, Derry, and the 鈥渇orgotten county鈥 of Donegal. Using the dual lens of literature (ENGL 250 or ENGL 102) and the United Nation鈥檚 Sustainable Development Goals (ENVS 275), we will delve into this land鈥檚 complex history while walking its green hills, craggy shorelines, and bustling town streets. Join us for the chance to study a place where writers, musicians, and community members give voice to social justice issues, and sometime make 鈥渉ope and history rhyme鈥!
