Irish History and Culture: From Molly Malone to Nobel Laureates

Presented by Brookline Adult & Community Education

BACE Program description:

"Discover hundreds of years worth of Irish history, and learn how past events helped shape Ireland and its culture. We will investigate the history and culture of Ireland from the 18th century to the present, discussing topics such as Saint Patrick, the Famine of the 1840s, and the Irish Civil War. We will explore well-known events in Northern Ireland such as the Hunger Strikers, and the cyclical violence of the '70s and '80s. The influence of Irish America upon Irish culture will also be another important topic in this interactive discussion. Finally, we will discuss the idea of mythology and stereotype as they relate to Ireland as a country."
