The Scottish Languages Act 2025 comes into effect today - but its significance will only become clear over time. It's a complex, incrementalist measure and much depends on how it's implemented. My analysis here bellacaledonia.org.uk/2025/06/20/t...

Really happy to have this article out in print officially!! All Acallam enthusiasts will be interested in it, I hope 👀 This article brings important new things to light regarding the textual and manuscript transmission of Acallam / Agallamh texts..!

The 2nd major contribution to our rethinking of the Acallam's transmission - comhghairdeas leat @ninacnock.bsky.social! A huge moment in the study of this work!

This year’s O’Donnell Lecture at the University of Edinburgh will be given by Professor @brendankanect.bsky.social of @earlymodirish.bsky.social fame. Brendan is Visiting Leverhulme Professor in Edinburgh in 2025 and 2026.

This is an important addition to the scholarship on the textual transmission of the Acallam - an area of study that is expanding at a dizzying rate, often courtesy of @disappearingtext.bsky.social project members (stay tuned for further publication news from @ninacnock.bsky.social!)

Yes! This... gemAI violates almost every element of academic and scientific integrity we claim to uphold. I don't know how people square this circle.

Exciting opportunity to work on a PhD with me in Glasgow & Bénédicte Coste in France, on Decadence and Translation in Periodicals. Become part of 'Decadocs' - a Marie-Curie Joint Doctoral group. (Feel free to share with anyone you think would be interested). euraxess.ec.europa.eu/jobs/375577

I'm glad to read this (thank you @downham.bsky.social) - I've been disturbed by the lack of interest in the environmental cost of Generative AI in my own institution (or at least in the conversations that I've been in), even when the focus is supposedly on responsible and ethical adoption of GenAI

Really looking forward to this event! Can't wait to hear three wonderful critics of early Irish/Gaelic literature in conversation.

News from the European Celtic Congress Bonn 2025: After a very long gestation process, the proceedings of the 5th Conference on the Ulster Cycle of Tales (𝐔𝐥𝐢𝐝𝐢𝐚 𝟓) has now appeared in printed form. You cannot imagine what relief this means for my fellow editors and me, and for the authors.
