Post-Globalization: Rethinking the Relationship of Ireland and the United States, 22 September 2010
William Jefferson Clinton Auditorium, University College Dublin With recent events, the import of globalisation has come into focus. Issues surrounding Ireland’s dependence on processes of globalisation press us to reconsider its relationship with the United States in the ‘post-globalisation’ moment.
This conference provides an opportunity for rethinking globalisation within the context of Ireland’s relationship with the United States. Questions to be addressed may include: * Is globalisation still relevant to Ireland’s relationship with the United States? * Is globalisation synonymous with Americanization? * Has the era of globalisation reconstituted Irish identity in relation to the U.S.? * What is the relation of the Irish diaspora to processes of globalisation? * What paradigms of Irish-US economic and political relations are emerging from a post-globalised Ireland? * How has Irish culture represented or reflected shifting relations with the U.S.? We welcome proposals that offer innovative perspectives on shifts in political, economic and cultural paradigms. We encourage multi- and interdisciplinary discussions and are particularly interested in receiving papers from the following areas: * American Studies * Irish Studies * Business Studies * History * Media & Cultural Studies * Politics & International Relations * Sociology
The conference is being organised with financial support from the Graduate School in Arts and Celtic Studies at University College Dublin.
