The Department of Irish Language and Literature recently hosted WHY IRISH?, a one-day international colloquium on the position of Irish language and literature in the North American academy. The speakers presented on the contributions of Irish to their research and examined the role of Irish in various disciplines – comparative literature, medieval studies, linguistics, contemporary literature, cultural studies and Indo-European poetics. Here are some of the sights of this memorable occasion, courtesy of Matt Cashore.
