Description
The 14th International Congress of Celtic Studies 2011, held every four years, is the largest academic gathering in its field and attracts scholars who have an interest in the many different areas of Celtic Studies. The Fourteenth Congress is being organised by a number of universities and cultural institutions in the Dublin region under the aegis of the School of Celtic Studies, Dublin Institute for Advanced Studies.
During the Congress, papers will be read on all aspects of Celtic culture and civilization, from earliest times down to the present day. Areas that have attracted much interest at previous congresses include Medieval and Modern Literature and Languages, Mythology, Archaeology, History, Folklore, Art and Music. The broad span of the Congress makes it an attractive and an important forum for those who work in other academic fields but whose interests touch on the world of Celtic Studies.
In addition to the schedule of academic events, a full social and entertainment programme is being organised. This will include a number of tours, receptions and cultural events. Some exhibitions will take place during the Congress.
Membership of the Congress is open to all with an interest in Celtic Studies. Younger scholars and those who have not previously attended an International Celtic Congress will be particularly welcome.
