Peace and Justice Lecture Series: The College will focus its 2008-2009 Peace and Justice Lecture Series on the future of food. A number of authoritative commentators argue that many of the seemingly disparate problems we are now confronting - obesity, the prevalence of food-borne disease, the persistence of hunger, even the transformation of Third World wilderness into enormous, export-oriented farms - are in fact related to, and even driven by, the basic economic mechanisms that have given rise to the modern food system.

From Killarney, journey to Blarney Castle, home of the legendary Blarney stone, and experience breathtaking coastal scenery as you travel the Dingle Peninsula.  Discover this beautiful land where a hundred thousand welcomes await you.   Additional information, including registration will be available on-line in January 2010.
