Recognising the many methodologies that make up historical research, the series presents innovative and interdisciplinary work that is conceptual and interpretative, and expands and challenges the common understandings of the Irish past. It showcases new and exciting scholarship on subjects such as the history of gender, power, class, the body, landscape, memory and social and cultural change. It also reflects the diversity of Irish historical writing, since it includes titles that are empirically sophisticated together with conceptually driven synoptic studies. 1.

  • Gabby Capuzzi Returns to Ohio State Women's Lacrosse As Associate
    Gabby Capuzzi Returns To Ohio State Women’s Lacrosse As Associate Head Coach Gabby Capuzzi, who played at Ohio State from 2009-12 before serving as an assistant coach from 2012-14, is returning to Columbus to be the team’s associate head coach. Following her initial time at Ohio State, Capuzzi spent the last six seasons at Navy, where she served as an assistant coach from 2015-18 and associate head coach from 2019-20. Capuzzi’s primary role was coaching Navy’s defensive, while she also had an active role in recruiting. “Thank you to Gene Smith, Janine Oman and Amy Bokker for granting me the privilege to serve as the associate head coach for the women’s lacrosse program,” Capuzzi said. “As a proud alumna, I am extremely honored and grateful to be presented this opportunity at an institution that is so special and dear to my heart. My husband, Greg, and I are thrilled to return to our Buckeye roots! “I look forward to leading the women of Buckeye lacrosse alongside Coach Bokker and her staff. She is one of the most respected coaches in our game and I am excited for the chance to learn from her as I begin this journey under her leadership.” Capuzzi earned second-team All-American honors while playing at Ohio State, leading the Buckeyes with 42 goals, 52 draw controls, 38 ground balls and 31 caused turnovers in 2012. She ranks third in career draws with 166 and owns two of the program’s top 10 single-season records in that category.

If you read the descriptions of preschool ac- tivities in this Falcon Flyer, you will notice many of them require young children to think and form hypotheses and explanations – “What are bubbles?”, “How are the formed?”, “When I blow air through the hole without soapy water, no bubbles form. Why?”. Students are encouraged to pursue their own interests, formulate their own ques- tions and seek their own answers.
