Join us for the 13th Annual Thomas D'Arcy McGee Summer School!

Since its inception in 2010, the annual Thomas D’Arcy McGee Summer School draws on the life, vision and legacy of an Irish Rebel and Canadian patriot to explore some of the critical challenges facing our world today.

This year’s summer school, coming more than 230 years after Thomas Paine published the Rights of Man, asks whether human rights are a birthright for all human beings or the political gift of whichever political persuasion has power. Her Excellency Canadian Ambassador to Ireland Nancy Smyth will be speaking, along with many other scholars and advocates on Human Rights.
