Description
-
A Nordic-Celtic Legend Symposium took place in UCG, Mar. 1991. The event was inspired by a symposium on Irish and Scottish migratory legends held in UCD in 1988, and in turn, the 2nd such Conference held in Galway became the inspiration for an expanded Nordic-Celtic-Baltic conference held in the University of Copenhagen in 1993. Those with UCG affiliations in the group conference picture included Mícheál Mac Craith (3rd from left in front row), Séamas Ó Catháin (6th from left in front row), Pádraig Ó Héalaí (7th from left in front row), Mark Wringe (3rd from the right in the row above the front row), and Lillis Ó Laoire in the 2nd row from the top, and to the right of the person with a blue top - they all were in the Dept. of Nua-Ghaeilge, Ollscoil na Gaillimhe.
The Conference picture also included Bo Almqvist (2nd from the right in the front row), Dept. of Folklore, UCD and many other folklore scholars from a range of countries. The conference papers dealing with the history, function and form of folk legends in the relevant geographical areas were subsequently published in Béaloideas, Vols. 60-3, 1992-5.
