The Minor in Irish Studies provides students with an interdisciplinary approach to the culture, history, language, and literature of Ireland and the diaspora. The minor will serve students who are majoring in fields where global and cross-cultural awareness are especially valuable, such as business, political science, and health services; in such humanities-based fields as art, literature, history, and music; and in related multimedia fields.

Women with Long Work Hours and Diabetes Management

In the United States (U.S.), labor is often stratified by sex and this form of occupational segregation can contribute to health disparities. Certain work schedule characteristics, such as long work hours, can prevent proper management of chronic health conditions, including diabetes. In the present study, I examined the association between work hours and suboptimal diabetes management among U.S. workers.
