Tadhg Ó hIfearnáin
Affiliation: University of Limerick
Research interests: I research within the broad tripartite language policy paradigm composed of language practices, ideologies and beliefs about language, and the intentional or unintentional intervention in these processes by agents of change. I conduct long-term ethnographic research in the Irish Gaeltacht and other extended projects in the Isle of Man and Brittany, as well as contemporary studies of the sociolinguistics of Wales, Scotland, Nova Scotia and minority language policy in Europe. In conducting this research I work collaboratively with local speaker communities, postdoctoral researchers and graduate students and with colleagues in international networks.
