Description
People from Ireland, Scotland, and Wales experienced forced and voluntary emigration to other parts of the British Empire. Since 1800, millions of Celts left their homelands. Many were forced out by political and religious oppression. Others fled poverty and famine, and some were shipped off due to crimes under British rule. How did these Celts survive and prosper?
Maya Sutton graduated from Georgetown University’s School of Foreign Service and received her PhD from UNM. She is a dual citizen of the Republic of Ireland and the United States. She taught courses in Celtic mythology and history at UNM. Her Celtic courses emphasize her personal experience with each area, including access to authors, archives, and adventures. Dr. Sutton is a living part of the Celtic Diaspora.
