wtf. What is that supposed to mean. They have an entire Japanese Minor. They have Japanese cultural studies. Geography of Japan should of been at the bottom of that list.
And by far they do not have many cultural studies. I have not seen or heard of any Irish studies. We have, to my knowledge: Chinese, Japanese, a few aboriginal, Polish, German, Italian, Greek and Latin.
There may be some in a history of Canada course, seeing as they, along with the English and Scottish made up the majority of Canada West.
There are hundreds of cultures that aren't covered. If I am not mistaken, there is not a single one from the Middle East? I mean, yeah there's plenty left out from Europe, but think about that for a minute. I think Irish would not be near the top of any new cultural studies courses, if any did come to exist.

Yeah, there are probably hundreds of cultures not covered by Mac courses. Only the more prominent (densely populated/influential) ones usually are; or if they appeal to the student body.

Sorry, I was referring to a cultural studies course. History there should be (which I guess would entail some culture) because there are 4 main routes for the History program. I don't remember specifically, but I think its like Europe, North America & the Americas (caribbean, central, etc), Asia, and global history. If not those, something similar.
That may be your best bet. I'd look it up for you but I am studying for a final tomorrow. Check the calendar for courses in History. I know they have an extensive list on European histories, so you might get lucky there.

Unfortunately there isn't. At least not one that would do the subject justice. I was really disappointed.

The Britain in the First World War course (Hist 3YY3) talks a bit about Ireland and how it affected the political situation in Britain, the push for independence, etc., but it's a small part of the course

Well yeah, by that logic, the history department's got dozens of courses about Europe - I think the poster you were quoting meant specific Middle Eastern cultures, in the same way that Irish culture is a specific European culture... |
