In this exclusive President’s Society webinar, President Conner reflected on co-teaching The Making of Modern Ireland with Professor Barbara Black, Tisch Chair in Arts and Letters. The course culminated in a two-week student trip to western Ireland — Conner’s 27th visit — exploring the literature, history, and culture studied on campus.
