About
I completed a BA in Latin and French languages and literatures at Wellesley College before taking a second undergraduate degree in Anglo-Saxon, Norse & Celtic at the University of Cambridge, followed by an MPhil and PhD in the same department. From 2011–2013 I was a postdoctoral Junior Research Fellow in Celtic at Christ Church, University of Oxford.
Research Interests
My main research interests centre on medieval Irish and Latin language, literature and textual culture, the history of linguistic thought and education in classical and medieval tradition, early Irish medical manuscripts and medieval Irish and Welsh law. I am currently working on editions and translations of two medieval Irish texts: one a tract on literary analysis and rhetorical doctrine, and the other a discussion of practical medical matters.
I also serve as Treasurer and Membership Secretary of the Henry Sweet Society for the History of Linguistic Ideas.

Date: 19 October 1944 Paper: The Irish Press Synopsis: DIAS has been publishing books since it's founding. One such early publication is the edited manuscript of the Annals of Connacht (Annála Connacht) which was edited for the first time by Martin Freeman of DIAS. (1/3)
This work was to help towards the preservation of the Irish Language, to maintain it's continuity with the past, and was to become a resource for teachers to check pronunciation #DIASdiscovers #Irish #Irishlanguage #CelticStudies #Gaelic
The researchers used the International Phonetic Alphabet, slightly modified to represent vowels and consonants of living speech. At that time there were concerns over the deterioration of the Irish language due to the "overpowering influence of English"
Date: 02 June 1943 Paper: The Irish Press Synopsis: In 1943, a phonetic investigation led by Brian Ó Cuív, Risteárd B. Breathnach and Tomás de Bhaldraithe of DIAS would begin the first systematic scientific recording of the varied sounds of modern Gaelic speech.

"In the lives of St. Patrick, the two saints are invariably fused into one", said Prof. O'Rahilly in his lecture. The lecture was a condensation from O’Rahilly’s book “The two Patricks: a lecture on the history of Christianity in fifth-century Ireland”. (4/5)
He was known by his first name Patricius, which in later times would lead to confusion as he was succeeded by another apostle of the same name (Saint Patrick or Patricius in Latin). (3/5)
He spoke on "Palladius and Patrick". Palladius was the first bishop of the Christians of Ireland. (2/5)
Date: 21st March 1942 Paper: The Irish Press Headline: Palladius and Patrick | School Of Celtic Studies Lecture Synopsis: The first public lecture under the auspices of the School of Celtic Studies was delivered in Trinity College by Professor T. F. O'Rahilly in 1942. (1/5)
As part of our ongoing participation in the @HistFest we decided to take a look into the Irish Newspaper Archives and see where DIAS made it into print over the last 80 years. There were so many articles, the hardest part was selecting what we would post. We hope you enjoy!
@AReillyFailte @CultureNight @VisitDublin Thanks Antoinette! Glad you enjoyed 😊
