Programs
Are you looking for intellectual nourishment or just good
storytelling about Ireland past and present? Look no further. We offer an
attractive menu of options.
Though its connections with American academics, scholars, and
practitioners around the world, the Irish American Cultural Institute is able
to draw on the deep knowledge and painstaking training of experts in a broad
array of fields related to the rich history and culture of modern and
contemporary Ireland.
Already the Institute has successfully launched a series of talks
(each lasting 45-60 minutes) on such topics as the Great Famine and Irish
emigration over the period 1845-1900; Daniel O'Connell and Irish anti-slavery; Irish
traditional music (with performance intermixed); Irish art and politics in the
twentieth century; and Ireland and Brexit.
Forthcoming talks include Ireland and Partition in 1920-22; women
and the Easter Rising of 1916; and another program (but with a different take)
on traditional music.
These talks have been and will continue to be recorded for later
use and become available soon after each event. Please see our archived presentations below:
