Teaching Irish-American History
KEVIN KENNY
WHEN TIM MEAGHER invited me
to join a roundtable discussion on the teaching of Irish-American History
at the annual meeting of the American Conference for Irish Studies (ACIS)
I immediately accepted. A panel featuring Tim, Jay Dolan, Marion Casey
and myself, in which audience participation was the principal goal, offered
the opportunity of clarifying and debating the principal issues in the
field. Given how much Irish-American studies have changed over the last
generation or so, this opportunity seemed timely indeed.Teaching and Outreach
This section, which will appear occasionally, focuses on innovative teaching
and outreach efforts in immigration, ethnic and racial history.
