Irish history and Irish language classes have been part of the course offerings at Saint Peter's College over the years. Jersey City is the largest city in New Jersey in population numbers. It is located on the west bank of the Hudson River. Many early Irish immigrants made Jersey City their home as can be seen today by street and church names. Ellis Island, first stopping point for many Celtic immigrants, lies just a stone's throw from the Jersey City shore.
Jersey City is connected to Manhattan, New York City, by underground train, ferry, and tunnel.
Abstracts for individual papers or workshops are welcome on the following topics involving any one of the modern Celtic languages. Celtic language teachers are especially encouraged to present workshops or presentations concerning methods, materials, and program development. Second and third copy should have no identification. Also send one copy of a 50-word summary to be included in the conference program and booklet of abstracts.
