Great Minds: "People still Speak that?! Irish, Gaelic, Welsh and the Celtic Languages in the 21st Century"

Dr. Harasta will present a survey of the six surviving Celtic languages and an update on what their speakers are doing to help the languages survive, adapt and thrive in the 21st century. Harasta holds a doctorate in cultural anthropology, and he focuses on preserving, restoring and promoting the world’s 6,000-plus small languages.
