Gaelic Studies

Gaelic Studies is an interdisciplinary field focused on the languages, literature, culture, and history of Gaelic-speaking communities, primarily in Scotland and Ireland. It encompasses the study of the Gaelic languages—Scottish Gaelic and Irish Gaelic—alongside their rich oral and written traditions. Scholars examine historical texts, folklore, music, and contemporary issues affecting Gaelic culture, including revitalization efforts. Gaelic Studies also explores the social and political contexts that influence these languages, enhancing our understanding of identity, heritage, and cultural diversity in the Celtic world.
