Please join us October 3-5 for "Re-Reading the Revolution," a conference marking the launch of the website, "Léamh: Learn Early Modern Irish," a web-based tutorial and resource for learning how to read and translate Early Modern Irish. The conference will consist of three complementary sections:
I. "One day, one text": The conference opens with a workshop at which participants work collectively--whether in person or remotely--to produce a new text selection for www.leamh.org. Experts and new learners alike are encouraged to take part. For details on how to take part, contact brendan.kane@uconn.edu.
II. "Research panels": Leading scholars in Celtic languages will speak to recent research on the "revolutionary" years 1630-1660, and the design and development members of the Léamh team will present on their work building the site.
III. "Re-Reading the Revolution Roundtables": Specialists in the history and literature of Britain and Ireland during the crisis years of 1630-60, and experts in Celtic-language sources of the period, will discuss how widening source bases and strengthening collaborative networks might further our understanding of this revolutionary moment.
