The "Irish Studies" Research Group (UDC reference G000224) is essentially committed to the critical analysis of all the cultural artefacts and dynamic events that define Irish Studies in a broad sense. 

This RG is interested in establishing and consolidating research networks with other centers, institutes, departments, and research groups that study Irish literature, culture, society, and politics, but also with institutions and scholars whose fields of expertise revolve around diverse areas within the Humanities and the Social Sciences. Our spirit is, therefore, transdisciplinary in essence.   

Based in the Amergin University Institute of Research in Irish Studies (Universidade da Coruña), our RG has tight connections to AEDEAN, AEDEI, the James Joyce Society, IASIL, or Screen Ireland, among other organizations, and belongs to the EFACIS federation of centers devoted to the study of Ireland. 

Historically, this research group has paid particular interest to the connections between the cultures of Ireland and Galicia.  

The Irish Studies Research Group brings together a team of researchers who position Irish culture as the guiding light that shapes their interests and scholarly activity. This point of departure leads to a series of research journeys and destinations that steer their course toward diverse and distinct geographical and intellectual areas. Understanding Irish Studies as a broad framework that enables the examination of other spaces, this group focuses on the cultural, sociopolitical, and epistemological movements shaped by the Atlantic Ocean.
