The School of Celtic Studies at DIAS is delighted to
announce that Dr. Chantal Kobel has been appointed a Bergin Fellow. The name of the Fellowship honours Professor
Osborn J. Bergin, first Director of the School of Celtic Studies, and one of
the outstanding Irish scholars of his generation.
Dr. Kobel’s research currently focuses on the codicology and
contents of the late medieval Irish law manuscripts held in Trinity College
Dublin Library. During her Fellowship, she will be preparing a monograph that
will provide detailed accounts of these codicologically and textually complex manuscripts,
and include a general study of medieval Irish lawyers’ books. She is also engaged
in preparing critical editions of a series of previously unpublished glossaries
containing legal citations preserved in the composite manuscript volume TCD MS
H 3.18 (1337).
After attaining her PhD in Early Irish in the Department of
Irish at Trinity College Dublin, Dr. Kobel won an O’Donovan Scholarship at DIAS’s
School of Celtic Studies in August 2017. Her research entailed the preparation
of editions of a number of brief medieval Irish texts containing obscure
vocabulary, as well as a study of their manuscript contexts.
Dr. Kobel has presented at various international conferences,
published in Celtica and Ériu, two leading journals in the field
of Celtic Studies, and is presently preparing a number of further publications
on her research findings. Apart from her
interests in medieval Irish language, literature and manuscript culture, Dr.
Kobel’s other research interests include archival traditions in Ireland and
archival description. She is a professionally active archivist and also teaches
palaeography at the Department of Early Irish, Maynooth University.
We congratulate her hugely on her appointment as a Bergin
Fellow!

Big thank you to @MartinaPQuinn of @helloalicepr for moderating the discussion, and of course to our panel @NeasaMcG @CormacORafferty and @laoneill111
@CormacORafferty "to cut yourself off from fundamental research means you could miss out on some of the biggest ideas"
@laoneill "it's our job as researchers to keep reminding governments how important basic research is" "For Dev basic research being carried out in Ireland was a badge of pride"
@NeasaMcG Schrödinger's work in causality was not well received by the religious authorities at the time At the same time DIAS did have Catholic priests working on research projects in the early days, so there was not the conflict you might think between science and religion
@laoneill111 Schrödinger was very popular in social circles in Dublin, a bit of a renaissance man
@CormacORafferty Schrödinger was gifted at explaining difficult concepts
@CormacORafferty on how unsuccessful work, in Schrödinger's case, unified field theory, is just as important part of science. And no one has managed to crack it yet! And not forgetting the cat
@laoneill111 how Schrödinger's book inspired scientists to change fields and result in the finding of the double helix.
@NeasaMcG explaining how DIAS came about and how Schrödinger was attracted to Ireland #DIASdiscovers
