From Poetry to Parades
Our Irish Studies courses range from the poetry of Seamus Heaney (himself a QUB graduate) to the politics of contested parades in today's Northern Ireland; from the literature of the Medieval sagas and the Gaelic Revival to the controversies around contemporary commemorations of the Easter Rising and the First World War and Ireland's post-Brexit place in the world.
Kingship and Colonisation in Medieval Ireland
This is a new interdisciplinary Irish Studies option module drawing on Archaeology, History and Irish Folklore and Literature.
The course will focus on the period between 700-1350 and trace important changes in Irish kingship over time and in response to the incursions of the Vikings and later the Anglo-Normans.
