Lauren Onkey and her students studied the roles tourism and travel writing play in constructing and marketing Ireland’s national identity. The seminar traveled throughout Ireland conducting their research with microphones. Upon their return, the students created a series of short radio programs, Consuming a Nation, that illustrates the significance of tourism in contemporary culture. The seminar will also publish its findings in an academic journal devoted to Irish Studies. Lauren’s community sponsor was Indiana Public Radio. |
