ENIR 101 represents an introduction to modern Irish in both its spoken and written forms: basic principles of grammar and sentence structure are covered. Emphasis is placed on the application of these principles in every-day situations.
ENIR 360 examines fiction, poetry, drama, film, and music from the Irish and/or Northern Irish literary traditions. Students will seek to understand how artists respond to the burdens of history, identity, political conflict, and how they articulate the possibilities afforded by Ireland’s changing position in the world.
The Gathering is a long-term research project to collect the memories of the Irish of Montana, to educate and inform contemporary society of the history and culture of the Irish, and to provide access to this material so we may draw on our past as we build our future. Your story is important, the history of your people is important and we invite you to get involved, to share your family memories and to collect from the community, young and old, their stories. In this way you ensure that their voice will be heard for generations to come.
