HIST 315 - Irish, Catholic, American

This course will use the Irish experience in America to highlight the general course of United States history, and the complex way in which ethnic and religious identity both shaped the American landscape while being in turn shaped by the American environment. The course will consequently explore immigration, politics, religion, education, women, family and urban history, and grapple with important issues like nativism, acculturation, cultural maintenance and identity.
