This course is designed to give students a grounding in the theory and implementation of language policy and planning in the insular Celtic language polities and jurisdictions. The course focuses on the application of knowledge to contemporary language situations through empirical study of Irish, Welsh, Gaelic, Cornish and Manx in their national contexts. It aims to provide students with the tools to engage in research on language planning and policy and to apply this knowledge in practice. It foregrounds the importance of the notion of 'linguistic human rights' in relation to language policy and planning.
