Second Call for Papers
Celtic Folk Studies Conference
at Cardiff University, 20-23 July 2005
Folklore and Identity in Celtic Cultures
Keynote speakers: Diane Goldstein (Memorial University, Newfoundland), Patricia
Lysaght, (University College Dublin) and Sioned Davies (Cardiff University).
This conference will emphasise Celtic cultures at home and abroad, and the
folklore of other ethnic groups within Celtic contexts. The organisers welcome
papers on relevant topics especially oral traditions, religion, material
culture, music and foodways. A special panel will examine the folklore of
multicultural Cardiff and ideas for other panels will be considered.
The School of Welsh at Cardiff University is a leading centre for folk studies.
Since 1992, it has offered an MA in Welsh Ethnological Studies in collaboration
with the Museum of Welsh Life, St Fagans, the first national folklore museum in
Britain. This has allowed students to use the extensive archives at the museum
in addition to the academic resources of the university. Delegates will have an
opportunity to visit St Fagans during the conference.
If you wish to offer a paper, please send proposed title and short abstract
(200 words) by 20 January 2005 to Siwan Rosser or Juliette Wood:
