Irish Cultural Heritage Day, Fall 2018: Tea and Talk!
We begin the afternoon with a talk
by Malcolm Sen, Assistant Professor of English, UMass Amherst--Irish Literature at the End of the World:
Literary Approaches to Climate Change.
Following his talk, enjoy
traditional Irish music by local band The Lindsays, and dancing by the BSU
Irish Steppers! Mike Sandy, Director of the Study Abroad office will be on hand
to talk about study abroad opportunities, and Dr. Ellen Scheible, Coordinator
of the Irish Studies Program, will answer your questions about the Irish
Studies Minor.
Throughout the event, you are
welcome to partake of a traditional Irish Afternoon Tea, with sandwiches,
delicious appetizers and sweets, and an array of fine teas.
Malcolm Sen’s research
interests include Irish Studies, South Asian literatures and cultures, and the
environmental humanities. Currently, he is especially interested in the role of
narrative in our understanding of, and responses to, climate change. He is the editor of the podcast series Irish Studies and the Environmental
Humanities.
Irish Cultural Heritage Day is open
to everyone in the BSU community and the public.
