For this week’s Eyes on Events, we interviewed Andrew Clarke and Janice Deitner about the Irish Association of American Studies 2022 Symposium’Rupture and Repair’, held at Maynooth University on November 4th and 5th. We discussed the IAAS’s return to a mixed hybrid/in-person format, talked about the role of American Studies in a complex world, and kept rupture and renewal carefully balanced while reflecting on recent crises in American politics, with some help from the writings of Teju Cole.
