Dublin Photo: POM POM/Shutterstock.Com Dublin Is a City That Everyone Raves About Dublin Photo: POM POM/Shutterstock.com Dublin is a city that everyone raves about. Displaced locals get all misty-eyed about the pubs, the hilarious, friendly people they left behind. It is a modern, hard-working, affluent centre of commerce and industry as well as a cultural capital and it is home to some of Europe's most renowned artists. It is a city that deserves to be taken seriously. And, for those who do, it is a richly rewarding, fascinating place with its incredible beautifully preserved mansions and castles, meticulously curated museums, churches, cathedrals, and parks.

  • Theatre 471-002: Irish Theatre and Culture Rick Jones Griffith 303, Daily, 9-12 (Time Shared with THR 471.1) Summer I, 2016
    Theatre 471-002: Irish Theatre and Culture Rick Jones Griffith 303, Daily, 9-12 (time shared with THR 471.1) Summer I, 2016 Course overview: This course emphasizes the relationship between Irish theatre and the culture: that is, between theatre and other arts, between theatre and histori-political events, etc. The course will be taught in conjunction with THR 471.1: Irish Theatre and Drama. Since all students enrolled for one course must also enroll for the other, there may be some trade- offs of time between the two courses. This half of the sequence is primarily experiential, i.e. centered primarily on the fact of being in Ireland. While there is a clear academic intent to the course, the emphasis is on the act of engaging with Irish culture rather than on the articulation of that engagement. Prerequisites: Sophomore standing or above; ENG 132 and THR 162 with grades of C or better, or permission of instructor. Concurrent registration in THR 471.1. Course fees as determined by the Office of International Studies and Programs. Contacting me: Office: 217 Fine Arts, ext. 1290 (department office is room 212, ext. 4003). I will be available immediately following class every day, and by appointment. In Ireland, of course, other arrangements can/will be made. My cell phone # will be distributed in class (emergencies only while abroad, please). E-mail: My SFA e-mail address is [email protected]. This is my preferred means of contact (while in the US). I check e-mail at least three times a day. I do receive literally dozens of e-mail messages each day: please include the prefix “471” (e.g., “471: problems with paper”) in the subject line of all messages so I’ll recognize you immediately as a student in this class.

  • 2003 Bibliography 16
    CASTLE STUDIES: RECENT PUBLICATIONS – 16 By John R. Kenyon Introduction I wrote last year, and I quote: ‘I seem to find very little time to actually read many of these items in order to make constructive (or otherwise) comment, rather than rely on authors’ abstracts etc. However, I simply convince myself that the main purpose of this compilation is to let read- ers know what is new, providing some idea regarding content; it is then up to the readers of this bibliography to track down copies of anything they want to see and to read those items for themselves.’ The same holds true of this year, especially as it has been a truly bumper year for material of excellent quality, whether one agrees with everything committed to the page or not. These items of ‘quality’ are both monographs and articles, and although in the past I have grumbled ‘Not another book on castles’, they are all very different, and are gener- ally sound academic publications. I wish that the term ‘quality’ could be applied across the board in terms of actual book production; one author (Oliver Creighton) has not been served well by his publisher as far as the reproduction of the images are concerned, but more on that below. I mentioned last year that I was due to spend a few days in the peace and calm of the library of the Royal Irish Academy in Dublin. This I managed to do, and added some sixty publications, old and new, to “CBA4”, some of which are included here. Before going to Dublin, Con Manning had passed a number of new references onto me, and I am most grateful to him.

The Working Committees of the Board being the GPAC, Audit Committee and the Development and Corporate Committee were put in place and each of the Committees have performed their functions with great effect from the outset. I compliment the Chairpersons and members of all the Committees for their work and commitment. The most significant issues and challenges that faced the NMI throughout 2011 were those posed by the budgetary constraints. Those matters were faced with skill and determination by Dr Wallace and his team and thankfully the adverse impact caused by the same was managed and controlled to commendable effect. The total allocation to the NMI was reduced to €14,240,000 for the year in 2011. On the face of it and in reality this posed huge challenges across the entire range of the Museum’s activities. The public service moratorium had and is having a significant impact, particularly in key areas of specialist skills within the Museum.
