A Carnegie-Doctoral Research University

Your Center's classroom and research outcomes and its culture of engagement exceed the mark of evidence-based decision making. Its guiding ethos is "Students First."




Welcome to the Irish Studies matrix at Georgia Southern University: a Carnegie doctoral-research institution that's one of Georgia's top universities of choice for HOPE scholars. The "go-to" entity for Irish education, scholarship, business, science, and culture in the University System of Georgia, the Center helps the University community and the public explore and enjoy both Ireland and Irish America. Located upon a park-like, residential campus in the town of Statesboro, fifty miles northwest of Savannah, the Center's at the heart of a region that boasts exceptionally rich and diverse Irish patrimonies, both native Irish and Ulster-Scots (Scots-Irish). Our work acknowledges the great sweep of Irish experience: ancient Gaelic civilization; colonization from Strongbow to beyond Cromwell; and the worldwide Irish diaspora. Also of concern is contemporary Ireland: a high-tech powerhouse; earth's "most global" economy. The Center is a pace-setter in bringing top-quality artists, performers, lecturers, and semester-stay scholar-teachers to South Georgia. Our student-centered ethos is reflected in our Interdisciplinary Minor, our Study-in-Ireland opportunities, and our sponsorship of two student clubs.
Beir bua!
