Culture Change, Adaptation, and Image Film Series - Settling Down (2004)

Ireland’s Traveller community–traditionally a rural nomadic people–has survived despite the effects of modernization. This film looks at the ways in which Traveller culture and identity have altered as a result of broader changes within Ireland, and asks what the future may hold for a people who have come under increasing pressure to settle. Dr. Tim Corrigan, Professor in English and Cinema Studies, University of Pennsylvania, facilitates a discussion. Free with Museum admission.
