IRISH AND IRISH IMMIGRATION STUDIES AT SIU
As a teaching and research institution, Southern Illinois University at Carbondale has many resources that allow for focused, multidisciplinary study of Ireland and the world-wide dispersal of Irish immigrants on both the undergraduate and graduate levels. There are interest and expertise in Irish and Immigration Studies in many departments, among them English, History, Anthropology, Theater, Sociology, Speech Communication, Psychology, and Library Affairs. There is commitment here to the development of course and programs in areas such as Irish studies that cross disciplinary boundaries and combine fields. Finally, there are significant resources for research available on campus. LIBRARY RESOUCES:
Morris Library, located at SIU Carbondale, has unique and impressive Irish Studies holdings, which include the John V. Kelleher Irish Studies Library, the Croessman Collection of James Joyce, the Lennox Robinson Collection, the Brian O'Nolan [Flann O'Brien] Collection, the Katharine Tynan Hinkson Collection, the Francis Stuart Papers, the Mary Lavin Papers, the Sherman Theatre Collection of American melodrama, and valuable manuscript collections of William Butler Yeats, Lady Augusta Gregory, Sean O'Casey, Liam O'Flaherty, John Mantague, Jack Conroy, and others. The strength of the library holdings are in James Joyce, William Butler Yeats, and the Abbey Theatre, although many other Irish artists are well represented. As a rule, strong manuscript holdings of authors are backed by nearly definitive collections of their printed works. Since the 1960s, Special Collections has consistently added to its holdings, while the general library has kept pace with both Irish history and literature, with basic holdings in these areas representative of a fine research library. THE GRADUATE PROGRAM:
The Graduate Program in Irish and Irish Immigration Studies at SIUC is expanding, yet retains an atmosphere of intimacy and personalized attention from instructors. There is an active student organization, The Irish Studies Forum, which meets regularly on an informal basis to discuss topics in Irish and Irish Immigration Studies as well as the members' own projects. In March 1999, SIUC will be the site of the 11th Graduate Irish Studies Conference. Over the past several years, SIUC has hosted many meetings, including both regional and national conferences of the American Conference for Irish Studies, "A Celebration of Irish/American Music," and "New Perspectives on the Irish Diaspora."
Each year, the Irish Studies Program sponsors readings and visits from prominent writers and scholars in Irish and Irish Immigrant Studies. In recent years, the speakers have included, among others, Nuala Ni Dhomnhaill, Paul Muldoon, Eavan Boland, William Kennedy, Michael Longley, Andrew Carpenter, Thomas Kilroy, Richard Kearney, Gearoid Denvir, and Elizabeth Cullinan. In 1998-99, the speakers will include Seamus Heaney and Ciaran Carson. EXCHANGE PROGRAM WITH UNIVERSITY COLLEGE GALWAY:
SIUC also offers and exchange program with University College, Galway to encourage student exchange on the undergraduate and graduate levels. Students enrolled at SIUC have the opportunity to undertake at University College, Galway both formal course work, and, especially on the graduate level, independent reading and research projects. Enrollments, housing, collection of fees, and awarding of credits are facilitated by faculty and staff involved in Irish Studies at both universities. Each year, semester-long stipends are awarded to graduate students from both universities to enable them to spend a full five months on research and study. Contact:

Additional information:
The Irish Studies Program at the University of Massachusetts-Boston is an interdisciplinary program of study designed to provide students with the opportunity to study Irish and Irish-American culture, primarily through literature and history. Course offerings cover major aspects of Irish culture from ancient times to the present. Description
A two-course sequence, Early Irish Literature and Irish Literature, provides students with an overview of Irish literature and the society that produced it from the 6th century to the middle of the 20th century. Study of Irish history from the 17th century to the present links old Ireland and new. Study of the development of Ireland in the 20th century focuses on the social and political upheaval surrounding the uprising of 1916, partition, civil war, the gradual emergence of an independent Irish Republic and the ongoing political turbulence centered in Northern Ireland. Courses on James Joyce and William Butler Yeats focus on the contributions to world literature of Ireland's two most noted writers. Courses on the Irish Short Story and the Modern Irish Novel explore the mastery of particular literary forms by Irish writers. Study of recent Irish writing examines the continuing literary achievement in Ireland, both in Northern Ireland and in the Republic. Study of the Irish presence in America explores the contribution of this major immigrant group to the literature, the politics, and the culture of the United States. Special topics courses offered occasionally - on Irish drama, on Irish poetry, on Irish women writers - provide additional opportunity for students to investigate evolving artistic, social, and cultural concerns of the Irish people. Requirements and Recommendations
Six courses are required for completion of the Irish Studies Program. Students are strongly urged to plan their course of studies in consultation with the Director of the program to ensure a broad exposure to the field of Irish Studies. Contact:

Independent Study

Additional information:
The Irish Studies Program at New York University provides formal opportunities for undergraduate and graduate students to learn about Irish culture and history and to examine current issues relating to the Irish and Irish-American experience. Given its many links with Ireland and Irish America and its ideal location in the heart of downtown New York City, NYU is extremely well positioned to offer a strong program in Irish Studies.

Irish Studies Undergraduate Minor:
Undergraduates may take Irish Studies as an interdisciplinary minor by completing four Irish Studies courses taken in the departments of History, English, Music, European Studies, and Politics.

Masters Program:
Students may pursue a Masters in Irish and Irish-American Studies through the NYU Graduate School of Arts and Sciences. The program is developed with an interdisciplinary focus and encourages a study of the Irish language, with courses in History, Literature, Music, and Cultural Studies. NYU does not offer a PhD in Irish Studies, but those wishing to concentrate on Irish Studies within another discipline may apply through departments such as English, History, or Music. (http://irelandhouse.fas.nyu.edu/page/graduate)

Study Abroad:
The NYU Irish Studies Program also offers students the option of attending a six-week summer program on the campus of Trinity College Dublin. Open to undergraduate and graduate students, this program is an intensive study of modern Irish society and culture with particular emphasis on history, literature, creative writing, and the Irish language. Group excursions form a core of cultural activities which vary from year to year, but generally include sporting and theatrical events, guided walks in rural countrysides, and attendance of cultural festivals outside Dublin.

Glucksman Ireland House:
Glucksman Ireland House, the center for Irish Studies at NYU, sponsors a wide range of conferences, lectures, films, and colloquia which expose students to the current intellectual and cultural debates in Irish society. In addition, Ireland House has close ties with other Irish cultural institutions in the New York area including the Irish Institute, the American Irish Historical Society, the Irish Repertory Theater, the Irish Arts Center, and the Yeats Society.

Le Moyne College

Le Moyne College offers an Irish literature minor. �This interdiscplinary program, housed in the English department, seeks to ground students' understanding of Irish literature within its wider political, historical, and cultural milieu. Students take at least 3-4 Irish literature courses; one course in a related British literature area (e.g., Modernism, Victorian lit, as the students' interests dictate); and one course in either History or through Le Moyne's Peace and Global Studies department. This last course may relate directly to Ireland or offer insights by analogy. The minor program regularly hosts scholarly lectures, readings, and cultural events of interest to academics and the active, local Irish community. �Study abroad opportunities are also available through an exchange with Mary Immaculate College in Limerick. �Anyone interested in additional information on this program should contact the program director.
