Unsettling 'Ireland': Gender, Race, Class

3 credit hours · Undergraduate

This course explores the unsettling intersections of sexual, colonial, racial, and economic exploitation in Ireland. We deconstruct Ireland’s self-image as a liberal postcolony, parsing its multiple, often contradictory, logics of exploitation, gender oppression, and resistance to domination. We interrogate concepts like social reproduction, racial capitalism, hegemony, and whiteness in an Irish context.
