The Politics of Rebellion & Reconciliation in Northern Ireland

This course explores the sources and development of conflict and subsequent peace-building in Ireland and Northern Ireland. The focus is on the development of the Irish state, the rise of conflict during the Troubles in Northern Ireland between the 1960s and 1990s, and finally the establishment of a peace process and system of governance from the 1990s to present. The course includes a one week study abroad component in Ireland and Northern Ireland during Spring Break.

You will earn one credit for successful completion of the program and will be required to take part in pre-departure orientations, lectures, and coursework on the Greensburg campus.
