News
Welcome to the news link for the Department of Folklore and
Ethnology. From time to time the department itself, or staff associated with
it, engage with interesting research and teaching, publication or
collaboration, with academic or community groups, the public or other
interested parties. The department feels it is important to inform the broader
community about its activities and does so through this web site, social
networking sites such as ‘Facebook’ and through its own newsletter ‘Nua’,
distributed to a broad range of interested individuals or organizations. In
Teaching and Research staff publications make a significant and acknowledged
contribution to knowledge in the discipline while the departmental postgraduate
journal, ‘Béascna’, carries news of Léann Dúchais Leictreonach as well as
related academic articles of top quality. The Northside Folklore Project
publishes ‘The Archive’ and makes such information and articles available to
society in general.
Fáilte go dtí nasc na nuachta ar leathanaigh gréasáin na Roinne. Ó am go chéile bíonn scéalta nua ag an Roinn féin, ag foireann na Roinne nó daoine a mbíonn baint acu linn, tugtar aitheantas d’fhoilseacháin nó do chomhoibriú leis an bpobal nó le lucht léinn araon. Is maith leis an Roinn na scéalta seo a chur i gcluasa agus i súile an phobail. Déantar é seo ar na leathanaigh idirlín, ar shuímh shóisialta dála ‘Facebook’, agus ar ‘Nua’ nuachtlitir leictreonach na Roinne a scaiptear ar chairde agus ar lucht na páirte thoir is thiar. Sna foilseacháin acadúla tá curtha ag an bhfoireann le léann na tíre agus leis an dámh trí chéile go hidirnáisiúnta. Bíonn ábhar ó Léann Dúchais Leictreonach, agus ailt léannta ardchaighdeánach, san iris iarchéime na Roinne ‘Béascna’. Foilsíonn Tionscnamh Béaloidis Cheann-Thuaidh Chorcaí nuachtlitir ‘The Archive’ chun ailt agus scéalta nua a scaipeadh.
