Centre for Neo-Latin Studies

The Centre is an interdisciplinary research group, established in the Classics Department in July 1999 by Professor Keith Sidwell, who remained Director until August 2008. Since then it has been based in the School of History, University College Cork, and has become affiliated with the Irish National Institute for Historical Research as part of the Future Humanities Institute in UCC. The current Director is Dr Jason Harris (email j.harris@ucc.ie).

The Centre has two goals:

• To promote individual and collaborative research on Neo-Latin literature and scholarship from c.1400 to c.1750, with particular reference to Irish writing in Latin during this period.
• To facilitate deeper engagement with Latin through active use of the language in speech and writing both as a teaching tool and as a medium of research publication.
