OVERVIEW

Research Strategies

Irish and Celtic Studies is part of the Modern Languages research cluster, which 

provides a vibrant environment for both disciplinary and interdisciplinary scholarship. 

Recognised as a centre of excellence for research into the languages, literatures, 

histories, linguistics, visual cultures, and cultural identities of Europe and beyond, the 

cluster is founded on a dynamic and forward-looking research ethos. Within this cluster, 

Irish and Celtic Studies aims to promote and disseminate cutting-edge research across 

all periods of the Irish language and also focuses on aspects of language and literature 

in Scotland. Research in the unit is conducted on both an individual and collaborative 

basis.

We also have a strong record in supervising comparative and interdisciplinary theses
