The spring series of SINHG Evening Programs offered by the Seabrook Island Natural History Group continues in March with “The Irish In Charleston”, presented by The College of Charleston’s Joseph Kelly on Thursday evening, March 14, 2024 at 7:00 pm at Lake House.
With its prominence during the 18th and 19th centuries as one of the eastern seaboard’s busiest ports, a large influx of Irish immigrants helped build the city’s economic, social and architectural life that can still be appreciated today. Joseph Kelly is a professor of English at The College of Charleston and leads the college’s Irish studies curriculum. He has published critical works on James Joyce and is a frequent presenter for the American Conference for Irish Studies.
SINHG Evening Programs are offered free of charge to SINHG members. There is a $5 charge for non-members. The spring series continues in April with an examination of Gullah culture and tradition. Pre-registration is available at sinhg.org/events-page.
