Subject: Symposium on 'Irish Studies in the Curriculum'
The British Association for Irish Studies
and The Learning and Teaching Support Network
are co-hosting a symposium on
'Irish Studies in the Curriculum'
Friday 7th November 2003
Senate House, London
In the last 20 years, Irish Studies has established an identity not just as
a research specialism but as a focus for teaching. The term 'Irish Studies'
serves to describe curricula which draw on a range of discourses which in
turn are inflected by debates within and between academic disciplines.
This symposium on 'Irish Studies in the Curriculum' will give delegates the
opportunity to reflect on approaches to, and strategies for, the delivery of
curricula or elements of curricula which focus on representations of Ireland
and Irishness.
