Christopher M. Dowd, assistant professor of English, is an expert on Irish identity in America. He can speak about how “Irishness” was imagined by Irish-American writers who were conscious of the process of self-definition and how non-Irish writers wrote in response to shifting cultural concerns. He can also discuss the fictional Irishman and how the Irish immigrant experience became a model for subsequent immigrant narratives to the United States.
