We recommend International Relations if you subscribe to philosopher George Santayana’s suggestion that, “Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it.” Alison’s certificate courses can be completed in a day but are packed with practical information. We suggest the Introduction to Archaeology for its instruction on the techniques used on digs and An Introduction to Irish Family History for expert tips that can help the vast Irish diaspora discover their roots.
