YouTube video by Maynooth University Early Irish - Maynooth University Open Day 2021

From the unfathomable depths of YouTube's algorithm, a video that I didn't even know existed was washed ashored today: me giving a virtual open-day talk for Early Irish @ceilteachomn.bsky.social at Maynooth University during the Covid-19 pandemic.
I guess a lot of what I said then is still valid.

I'll be launching Dr Rebecca Shercliffe's Old Irish: A Beginner's Guide @ria.ie tomorrow eve at 6.30pm. If you are around, do pop into 19 Dawson St. to help celebrate the publication of Dr Shercliffe's new book!

Two perspectives of the same event, differentiated by 180°: my second class on Ancient Celtic languages at the @scs-dias.bsky.social Summer School 2025 today. I've never taught such a big class, 60 or so students, in Ancient Celtic before! 😃

Hello to new followers! The Celtic Hagiography Network
is a professional scholarly network started by some early career researchers, focused on the study of hagiography composed in Latin and the Celtic languages.

Anocht! Tonight!

This is a must-listen! Viktoriia did her PhD under my supervision @ceilteachomn.bsky.social, & her research on ideas about cognition, intention, & other aspects of mental activity in early medieval Ireland is so fascinating. This is a great opportunity to hear about her work 📚👇🏻

And an announcement for the coming academic year:
In semester 2 (February-May 2026), I will teach a seminar about the same topic, Ancient Celtic and what and how we know about it, in the Department of Early Irish @ceilteachomn.bsky.social @maynoothuniversity.ie
