Very first topic in a significant new venture and what is the topic.....The Irish American Experience. I guess they wanted to go with A Sure Thing . I wonder who is in charge of HC's IDENTITY these days. Whoever it is is about 50 years behind the times and is completely myopic.

I wonder who is in charge of HC's IDENTITY these days. Whoever it is is about 50 years behind the times and is completely myopic. I would agree that at first blush this might not be the topic you would look for in terms of attracting new people and branding the college as moving beyond its New England Irish Catholic roots. However, this is a program only offered to alumni and parents so it may generate a lot of interest. Perhaps more significantly, Professor O'Donnell is perhaps the most dynamic of our professors and this is one of his areas of expertise, so anything he teaches is likely to be an excellent choice. If you haven't listened so far, his podcast "In the Past Lane" is well worth a listen. |

What is wrong with exploring an ethnic group that has done so much for this country, that has excelled in so many ways???

I hope O'Donnell also does a course on immigrants to NYC's lower East side
he gave a very informative walking tour of the Lower East Side on the Fordham game weekend

Ed is a friend and a very helpful colleague...though the topic of the course may not excite you sota, Ed is really a tremendous historian/teacher...highly recommend you check it out.
