After carrying out private study, attending and participating in lectures and seminars, and undertaking the assessment for this module, students should have the ability to:
• Understand and critique key debates concerning the relationship of culture to social and economic conditions at different scales in the Irish context
• Identify political, social and / or economic imperatives that inform Irish cultural policy
• Interpret and draw upon academic literature in developing arguments
• Critically analyse key assumptions and theories underpinning policies and the different interests they serve
Irish political culture, policymaking and the arts; arts and industry; audiences and consumption; tourism; foreign affairs and political image; labour / work; spatial planning and local development; cross-border policies and practices
In an effort to further highlight its importance, concerns regarding diversity and marginalised people and communities will be explored across topics, rather than as a standalone issue.
