Conflict, Social Justice, and Ethnic Relations in Ireland January Term 2005 Tentative Schedule and Activities Note: schedule of activities for individual courses may deviate from this general schedule. Last modified 12/17/04 |

| Important note: One of the objectives of this course is to introduce students to both the pleasures and the challenges of international travel. Cultural differences among countries are such that attitudes to time, work ethic, and commitments vary from country to country. Thus, students should expect changes in day-to-day intinerary. Flexibility is one of the hallmarks of good travellers. The course instructors will rely on students to be gracious about these changes. |
