Harvard University Department of Celtic Languages and Literatures
In 1980, graduate students in Harvard University’s Department of Celtic Languages and Literatures established the Harvard Celtic Colloquium as a forum in which to share their research and gain experience in professional academia. Since then, it has been organized annually by a team of students in the department, grown in size, and gained an international reputation. The Colloquium annually draws a diverse group of scholars from around the world to present papers on all facets of Celtic Studies. Since its inception, established and internationally renowned scholars in Celtic as well as graduate students, junior academics, and unaffiliated scholars have been drawn to this dynamic setting, presenting papers on ancient, medieval, and modern topics in the many disciplines relating to Celtic Studies, including literature, linguistics, folklore, history, archeology, art, and music.
Papers given at the Colloquium may be submitted for review to the organizers of the conference, who edit the peer-reviewed Proceedings of the Harvard Celtic Colloquium. Only papers presented at the annual conference are considered for publication.
