Ní hAnsae: the story so far. Podcasting Ireland’s Celtic past. Samhain agus Science.

Past DIAS O’Donovan Scholar, Dr Nike Stam opened this years Samhain agus Science festival, describing the challenges of bringing Celtic Studies to new audiences.

Interviewed by Prof. Barry Lewis, Nike goes through the intricacies of podcasting Celtic Studies.

In 2012, she embarked on her PhD project ‘Language choice as part of intellectual culture’ at the same university. In this project, she analysed instances of Irish-Latin code-switching in the commentary to the Félire Óengusso (Bodleian, Rawlinson B505). She was awarded her doctorate with distinction in 2017, while also lecturing in the undergraduate program of Celtic Studies. In September 2018, she joined the Dublin Institute for Advanced Studies as a post-doctoral scholar.
