Traveling abroad has multiple benefits that help to enrich the lives of those who partake in the traveling experience. Those who travel abroad get the opportunity to get out of their comfort zone, build confidence, develop awareness of other cultures, gain global networking opportunities, and forge unique friendships. With SUNY Ulster’s Irish Studies study abroad experience travelers will be exposed to a hundred years of Irish literature as it spans “The Three Arts”: prose, poetry, and drama. They will learn how Joyce and Yeats embody the transition to the 20th century and the modern era of Samuel Beckett who bridges the gap to the contemporary era of Roddy Doyle whose novels transform Irish literary traditions into relevant, current 21st-century works.
