For my paper at the Celtic Seminar at @oxfordceltic.bsky.social, I wanted to have some strong visuals, and I have been so taken Sissi's Ulster Cycle art, I knew I had to commission her. She did such an excellent job, and I know I'll be using these images in lectures for years to come!

My copy of Cambrian Medieval Celtic Studies 89 just arrived today, and my article 'Tricks of the Trade: the Origin of Clessa in Irish Heroic Literature' is out! I am really proud of it, and I hope people enjoy it. I think it is a great example of the weird directions the evidence can take you.

A very interesting article by @emmettaylor.bsky.social about coercion of Naoise and Diarmaid in medieval recensions of these tales: www.brepolsonline.net/doi/full/10.... It will certainly make us rethink oral retellings! #fianna #celticstudies

I'm currently writing a paper for later this month on the uses of Lebor Gabála Érenn in popular culture, and there's just fascinating stuff going on in attempts to 'Un-Christianize' the text (which of course is impossible, it is a Christian text not a shoddy palimpsest).

I'll be up at DIAS next month talking about different versions of the 'Deirdre Story', and looking at exactly where we can draw the line between multiple versions of the same story and when it becomes a retelling! (And a sneak-peak of what my half-secret post-doctoral project has been!)

This is a short thread of correspondence in the papers of Eoin MacNeill concerning the dismissal of Julius Pokorny from the Chair of Celtic Philology at the University of Berlin, under the provisions of the racist Nuremburg Laws of 1935. #HolocaustMemorialDay

Taking portions of my thesis and incorporating them into articles is just an exercise in me sitting here mumbling 'Okay how can I say this in half the words'.
