Medieval Scotlands Seminar Series: Sofia Evemalm-Graham and Oisín Plumb

About the series

Celtic and Scottish Studies is delighted to host a series of interdisciplinary events exploring the formation, development, and perception of medieval Scotland in terms of the constituent linguistic, literary, and material cultures – Brythonic, Pictish, Gaelic, Norse, Scots, and English – from which Scotland emerges.

Attendance is welcome both in person or online.

About the speakers

Dr Sofia Evemalm-Graham is a research associate at the University of Glasgow (Celtic & Gaelic) working on the AHRC-funded Iona’s Namescape: Place-names and their dynamics in Iona and its environs project. Her main research interest is the toponymy of Britain and Scandinavia, specialising in socio-onomastics. ‘A hill of angels and fairies: Sìthean Mòr, Iona and the dynamics of Scottish onomastics’ is her most recent article published as part of the Iona project.

Dr Oisín Plumb is a lecturer at the Institute for Northern Studies University of the Highlands and Islands (UHI), based at UHI Perth. His research focuses on early medieval Scotland; particular areas of interest include the Church and the development of identities. His most recent publication ‘Where were the Orcades? Early medieval engagement with the islands at the edge of the Earth in texts and maps’, appears in the current Innes Review.
