As it turns out, it's the Penguin Awareness Day - and unaware of it I have just talked about the Celticity of penguings in my seminar 😉

Just taught my last session of this year - wishing you all a peaceful Christmas and a happy New Year!

Join us tomorrow evening (6 pm CET) for the paper from @yganolfangeltaidd.bsky.social BRO - comprehensive sociolinguistic survey of contemporary Welsh-speaking communities. If you have not registered yet for our seminar this term, email [email protected] to get the link shortly before the event.

All the very best to the colleagues for this great project!

Linguists start compiling first ever complete dictionary of ancient Celtic

Had great fun talking yesterday about languages, politics and Celticity of Interceltique de Lorient in our seminar. This year's experience was amazing!

Today our students had to endure the tortures of defining 'Celtic' - and having mentioned Celtic crosses, I went out later to search for a Celtic cross in the cemetery across the road from my office. And there it was, quite impressive - dedicated to a well-known Irishman of the 19th century

Heuneburg field trip with our students. Sooo impressive!

The Societas Celtologica Europaea is now on Bluesky! ➡️ Our goal is to support the scholarly study of Celtic languages, literatures, and cultures in research and teaching and to promote cooperation among Celtic scholars. 👋 Follow us for updates on our student prizes, conferences & more!

Am ddridiau arbennig – llawn o ddysg, dathlu a chofio, a llawer o hwyl! Diolch i bawb yn @yganolfangeltaidd.bsky.social – a phen blwydd happys/hapus! Three glorious days – full of learning, celebration and remembering, and lots of fun! Huge thanks to all at the Canolfan and many happy returns!

I could not resist the temptation to co-organize a workshop at the Freie Universität, even if doing so less than in a week after the conference in Bonn is a clear symptom of madness. And I really loved it – but it had to be a very short visit, so no interaction beside that with colleagues and a cat

Still struggling to find coherent words to report about the Fourth European Symposium in Celtic Studies - meanwhile only endless gratitude to the team, thankfulness to all the colleagues who came and made it such a wonderful new milestone in the history of Celtic Studies in Bonn!

Breaking news! @ninacnock.bsky.social just won the Johann-Kaspar-Zeuß-Price of the Societas Celtologica Europaea for the best PhD thesis! Congratulations!

The Fourth European Symposium in Celtic Studies starts tomorrow! So much looking forward to welcome all the wonderful scholars @cgschweizer.bsky.social @bernhardbaver.bsky.social @ninacnock.bsky.social @metamedievalist.bsky.social @medievalireland.bsky.social and a lot of others!

Roedd hi’n fraint siarad â Dei Tomos ar BBC Cymru am fy hoff gerdd Gymraeg, “Ciwcymbars Wolverhampton” gan Ifor ap Glyn. Yn ôl pob tebyg, roedd fy fersiwn i’n eithaf Rwsiaidd – fel fy nghiwcymbars newydd wedi’u halltu – ond roedd hi’n llawer o hwyl siarad amdani!

It was a true privilege to host these two talks by the two Welsh legends

Another year, another wonderful excursion to #Glauberg organized by the Celtic Studies students association of the Uni Bonn

Looking forward for another term at the Bonn+Marburg Celtic Seminar online - with Natalia Petrovskaia, @michael-hornsby.bsky.social, Jon Morris, Joe Eska, and Elisabeth Chatel!

The Celtic Department at Bonn just had a wonderful visit from Utrecht. We had a great time discussing with twelve members of @svasterix.bsky.social the past, present, and future of Celtic Studies programs and what draws people to them. @celticuu.bsky.social – you have amazingly engaged students!

Celebrated St Patrick's Day by watching a wonderful new documentary on @artede.bsky.social. Great contributions by @niamhwycherley.bsky.social and @elvabjohnston.bsky.social among the others - comhghairdeachas! #LáFhéilePádraig #StPatricksDay

Feeling so grateful for having in front of me this publication in such a wonderful co-authorship. This is the first book with my name as co-author, not co-editor, on the cover, so this is quite a special moment for me - and definitely some dreams coming true.
