Fáilte go Scoil Léann na Gaeilge

Trí Roinn atá i Scoil Léann na Gaeilge: Roinn na Nua-Ghaeilge, Roinn na Sean- agus na Meán-Ghaeilge, agus Roinn an Bhéaloidis. Léiriú ar a thabhachtaí is atá teanga agus litríocht na Gaeilge, agus Léann na Gaeilge féin, san Ollscoil agus sa tír trí chéile, is ea an cumar seo na dtrí Roinn. Tá gach aon Roinn acu chun tosaigh ina saindisciplín féin ó thaobh taighde, teagaisc, agus scoláiriúlachta de, agus cuireann siad bonn torthúil faoi phobal Scoil Léann na Gaeilge, pobal a bhfuil teist idirnáisiúnta air.

The School of Irish Learning consists of three Departments: the Department of Modern Irish, the Department of Early and Medieval Irish, and the Department of Irish Folklore and Ethnography. This combination of academic departments is reflective of the importance of Irish Studies and of Irish language and literature within UCC and in Irish life in general.  Each Department is at the forefront of third-level research, teaching and scholarship in its particular discipline, and each contributes to the cross-disciplinary community of the School of Irish Learning, which enjoys an international reputation. You can find out more about the Departments of Early and Medieval Irish, Folklore and Ethnology, and Modern Irish by visiting their respective departmental websites.

The World’s First Professor of Celtic? Owen Connellan and Cork

One of the pioneering initiatives of the new Queen’s Colleges was the establishment of the world’s first professorships of the Celtic languages. This talk will look at QCC’s professor of Celtic, Owen Connellan (1797-1871), considering both his sometimes stormy relationship with the college administration, and his place in early Irish scholarship. The account of his life and career will be illustrated with passages from his published and unpublished writings.
