Departmental Research
Research has always played a central role in the Department and at the moment HEFCW provides the Department with approximately one third of the funding available in Wales for research in Celtic Studies (including Welsh). The staff’s research encompasses all aspects of Welsh language and literature, from the 6th to the 20th century, as well as a number of aspects relating to the languages and literatures of other Celtic countries. Most of the research in the Department is pursued by the staff as individual scholars. See menu for for staff research interests.
Over the last ten years, however, the Department has received grants for collaborative projects such as ‘Ptolemy: Towards a Linguistic Atlas of the Earliest Celtic Place-Names of Eurorpe’, ‘Gohebiaeth Carneddog a Rhai o’i Gyfoedion’ and ‘Gaulish Morphology with Particular Reference to Areas South and East of the Danube.’
