Glucksman Ireland House marks 20th Anniversary with Seamus Heaney and Sir James Galway

NYU Irish studies announces major scholarship opportunities

No understanding of Ireland's history or its people is complete without fully recognizing the contributions the Irish have made outside of Ireland, in the Irish diaspora. New York has extraordinary and diverse research collections for Irish studies including that of the New York Public Library and the Archives of Irish America at NYU's Bobst Library, where a host of rich collections, including NYU Professor Mick Moloney’s unique collection of Irish music and popular culture, and Archives of Irish America Oral History collection is preserved.

VISITING WRITERS AND SCHOLARS

New York is as familiar a home for Irish writers as Dublin itself. Glucksman Ireland House hosts an impressive cast of Irish authors in public readings. Seamus Heaney, Edna O’Brien, Joseph O’Connor, and Colm Toibin have all met with Irish Studies students. President Michael D. Higgins recently delivered a major address on Irish migration here, in recognition of the example Ireland House faculty had set in producing a truly interdisciplinary approach to the Irish experience. Ireland House is where Liam Clancy gave his last New York concert, and where Irish New Yorkers including Pete Hamill, Alice McDermott, Colum McCann and Peter Quinn come home to launch their books.
