Academic Focus
This program oers two tracks– one for Nursing majors and one
open to all majors - built around shared overseas experiences and a
shared focus on social jusce. For all parcipants the program con-
tent is linked to the context of Ireland with a special focus on The
Troubles, peacebuilding and polical and economic jusce issues.
Health care and quality of life issues will be used as case studies to
explore these issues further and community engagement acvies
will be culvated so that students and faculty can contribute to the
public good while in the north of Ireland. For Nursing majors, the
program provides an opportunity for students to compare and con-
trast nursing educaon and the delivery of health care within Ire-
land, Northern Ireland, and the United States and to apply theore-
cal concepts of health care policy and nursing in an internaonal
seng. Ulizing knowledge from public health and public policy, stu-
dents will idenfy commonalies and dierences in health care is-
sues, health care delivery, and outcomes as they relate to selected
populaons. Working with the Inch House Irish Studies Centre locat-
ed at Inch, Lough Swilly, Co. Donegal, a part of Ireland that has expe-
rienced a history of conict and violence, students will parcipate in
lectures and tours that will explore Irish culture and concepts of con-
ict resoluon to promote understanding of the polical, social and
health consequences of conict. Opportunies for interdisciplinary
interacon and service within community agencies will be made
available for the students. By blending both didacc and service
learning this course will provide students with valuable knowledge
and experience to parcipate within a global community.
