Many Americans claim Irish heritage but do not know much about the country's violent, fascinating history. In this class you will get an overview of the Irish potato famine, the mass immigration to America, and the revolutionary struggle against Great Britain.

Have you ever kept a journal? Written a letter to yourself? In this class I will share my own experience with writing for myself and what that has meant to me. The class will be small and discussion-based, and we'll focus especially on the realization that what you have to say is worth seeing, even if you are the only one who sees it.
