CCSA’s fall 2022 program finds eighteen lifelong learners in Ireland. Ireland’s landscape and landmarks provide a rich history and vibrant culture to explore the Emerald Isle.
The adventurers are led by Jim Gleason, retired communication faculty member from Eastern Kentucky University. As a professional musician and songwriter, Jim am also familiar with aspects of Irish history and culture from an artistic perspective. In addition to its history and culture, he’ll guide an exploration of Ireland’s musical heritage, which runs deep, and touches all aspects of Irish life, from history and politics to culture and tourism. As Jim explains, “Imagine a ‘study abroad’ program with all of the adventure, and none of the homework! Ireland: Landscape, History & Culture program is designed to suit the interests and experiences of adult learners.”
