Irish History & Culture Abroad 2017
May 29th - June 8th, 2017“Irish History & Culture Abroad” compliments the activities of History Course 330-325-DW, Class Abroad: Ireland (Winter 2017), which is designed to take students from the classroom to the field to apply learned knowledge in History and Classics. Students are meant to participate in an engaged learning environment. They will travel, visit, observe, present, and discuss a variety of political, cultural, social and economic topics in Ireland, and in these ways, further their knowledge far beyond the traditional classroom experience. Dawson students will be expected to share their ideas and experiences in journals, essays, oral presentations, written reflections, and photo assignments so that they can appreciate their wider historical context and environment. It is the hope that upon graduation, Dawson students who have participated in this project will have obtained an education that not only inspires further study, but also fosters a life-long sense of curiosity and appreciation for their wider communities and surroundings.
