Semester: 1
Department: ANTHROPOLOGY

Coordinator: Dr Thomas Strong (ANTHROPOLOGY)
Overview Overview
 

In this module, Ireland’s unique place within anthropology becomes the occasion for considering Ireland’s place in the contemporary world. Students will gain a broad understanding of anthropological research conducted on the island of Ireland both in the past and today. The anthropology of Ireland speaks to multiple topics of critical contemporary significance, including race, sexuality, (post)colonialism, religion, violence, feminism, migration, neoliberalism, and transnationalism. How has a small country on the margins of Europe become a fixture of the global imagination? What dynamics have rendered Ireland the beneficiary – and victim – of the powerful forces of social transformation reshaping social life the world over? Ireland’s distinctive position within both “Europe” and “Empire” affords a productive vantage point for considering and critiquing conventions of anthropological inquiry.
