Course Description
Spanning political theory and practice, the course begins with an assessment of influential 19th-century critiques of capitalism and industrialism. Students then consider the rise of modern ecologism and the recent turn to green capitalism, which in turn sets the stage for in depth engagement with ecology and the politics of technology, contemporary anarchist ecologies, post-capitalist and post-industrial utopian imagination, and contemporary anti-capitalist and ecological social movements.

Course Description
This course addresses the contemporary global food system: what, how, where, and why food is produced. It examines the evolution and co-existence of different agricultural systems around the world; the role of corporate actors in the transformation and retailing of global foods; and the changing nature of consumers and consumption within this system. The course explores the dynamics and contradictions of a food system that, while heralding ever-widening consumer choice, leaves one billion people food insecure and hungry; and impacts significantly on the global environment.

Course Description
This course presents the Irish song tradition as an important, if sometimes neglected area of native discourse and the verbal arts. The course focuses on Irish song, with particular reference to form, content, and style, in both the Irish- and the English-language traditions, as practiced throughout the island of Ireland. Employing translations where necessary, song transmission and acquisition in an Irish context is considered, as is performance and the various functions served by song, in both traditional and modern society.
