As the City of Glasgow prepares to host the Royal National Mòd, the University of Glasgow is joining forces with the festival’s 2019 organising committee to host a one-day seminar event, which aims to start a national conversation on the future of Gaelic in an increasingly global and digital age.
The central theme of the event is:
Embracing Change: Shaping a Future for Gaelic in a Global & Digital Age
This theme will be explored via three specific topics outlined below and through the observations and concepts presented by individual speakers and audience discussion.
- Changing Communities
- Changing Demographics of Gaelic speakers
- Policy, Politics & Activism: In need of Change?
Invited speakers will represent a wide variety of backgrounds, geographical areas and experiences with Gaelic and/or another minority language. They have been selected with a view to capturing the realities of Gaelic speakers in Scotland today, both the challenges and opportunities, and with a view to exploring the needs of this dynamic minority community.
A primary aim of the seminar is to identify meaningful approaches to the development and sustainability of Gaelic within the context of environments that are increasingly global in nature and dominated by digital technologies.
In response to the observations and concepts emerging from the event, the University of Glasgow will bring together a network of researchers and practitioners to offer professional reflections on proceedings and in turn, recommendations for any new areas of research, innovative projects and or initiatives appropriate to language development policy in a contemporary Scottish setting.
This seminar event will coincide with the launch of GUGA, a new exhibition by The Hunterian exploring Gaelic identities, which will run from October 2019 until January 2020. Delegates will be invited to attend a private viewing of the exhibition.
