Celtic Sociolinguistics Symposium III

The third biennial Celtic Sociolinguistics Symposium will take place at NUIG in November 16^th-17^th 2018^. As in the previous two Celtic Sociolinguistics symposia, we have attracted a diversity of scholars working in various areas related to linguistic and sociocultural aspects of one (or more) of the six Celtic languages.  This year’s theme is ‘Communities in Conversation,’ a theme which seeks to facilitate further collaboration between academics and the many different social actors working towards the maintenance of one (or more) of the Celtic languages within the community.  Over the two days, we will have over fifteen paper presentations, four plenaries delivered by Dr. Holly Kennard (Oxford Univeristy), Dr. Noel Ó Murchadha (Trinity College Dublin), Dr Gwennan Higham (Swansea University) and Dr. Stuart Dunmore (University of Edinburgh), and a media panel organised by Dr. John Walsh (NUIG).  More information, including the programme, can be found on our website.
