A talk by Dr Petra Johana Poncarova, Marie Curie Fellow (Scottish Literature) at the University of Glasgow.
The talk will explore the Scottish and international networks that formed around the Gaelic magazines edited and supported by Ruaraidh Erskine in the 1900s - 1930s, including Gaelic circles in Scotland and London, Scottish nationalist politics, visual arts, pan-Celtic initiatives, including extensive contacts with Ireland, and the global Gaelic diaspora.
It will introduce the new bilingual (English/Gaelic) website (https://erskine.glasgow.ac.uk/) that maps the magazines and their contents, and offers a growing database of contributors, and suggests ways in which it can facilitate future research on Gaelic literature and culture of the early twentieth century.
An audience Q&A session will follow the talk.

Thèid an làrach-lìn ùr dà-chànanach (https://erskine.glasgow.ac.uk/, Gàidhlig & Beurla,) a thaisbeanadh mar phàirt den òraid. Air an làrach-lìn, gheibhear fiosrachadh mionaideach mu na h-irisean agus stòr-dàta nan sgrìobhadairean a bha ’n sàs annta, agus thathar an dòchas gum brosnaich an stòras didseatach seo barrachd rannsachaidh air litreachas agus cultar na Gàidhlig tràth anns an fhicheadamh linn.
