CC 201Catholicism In America3
Introduction to the historical and cultural experiences of Catholics in America and the role of Catholicism in the American imagination. The course is multidisciplinary, with primary attention to history and literature, occasional consideration of theology and the social sciences, and some attention to the role of Catholics in professional life. While the main geographical focus of the course is the United States, the broader American hemisphere will necessarily receive some consideration (e.g. a unit on saints of the Americas)
This course will explore the complex relationship between Christianity and culture in Ireland, with attention to selected major historical moments and literary figures. Through engagement with a series of literary and historical texts, it will consider the ways in which Christianity and culture interacted with and shaped one another over the course of fifteen hundred years. Specific subtopics will include the introduction of Christianity to Ireland; the "Golden Age" of the early Irish church; the Reformation and English conquest of Ireland; Christianity and Irish nationalism; Northern Ireland and the Troubles. Among other avenues, these topics will be approached through engagement with the literary output of major figures such as St. Patrick, Micheal O Cleirigh OFM, Jonathan Swift, James Joyce, and Seamus Heaney.
Study abroad course.This course builds upon the foundations laid in Topics in Christianity and Culture, which is a prerequisite for enrollment. The course will be centrally focused on a study abroad experience during which students will visit the sites of historical and cultural significance as well as attend classes. Students will be required to give oral presentations on topics related to the locations visited. On the basis of travel, presentations, and classes attended abroad, students will develop a significant research paper over the course of the summer (ideally expanding a paper already completed in the Spring "Topics" course, as in a senior Thesis course sequence).
