Twelve students from the University of St. Thomas William J. Flynn Center for Irish Studies traveled to Ireland and Northern Ireland on study abroad in summer 2011. The students possessed a keen interest in the political, cultural and historical dynamics that have shaped modern Ireland. Beginning with two weeks of intensive classes in Houston, the three-week study abroad program focused on all aspects of modern Ireland, both north and south of the border. In Northern Ireland alone, the students met with and interviewed more than 50 people involved in building peace.
