A webinar with President Marc C. Conner
The Making of Modern Ireland

In this special webinar for members of the President's Society, President Conner shared his experiences from the course he co-taught with English Professor Barbara Black, Tisch Chair in Arts and Letters, titled The Making of Modern Ireland. The culmination of the course was a two-week trip to the west of Ireland to immerse the 23 students in the literature, history, and culture they studied on campus. This was President Conner’s 27th trip to Ireland, many with students, with alumni, or for research.
