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.  

O GI en Estudos Irlandeses reúne a un grupo de investigadores e investigadoras que sitúan a cultura irlandesa como faro que ilumina os seus intereses e a súa actividade científica. Este porto de saída conduce a unha serie de viaxes e destinos de investigación que enfilan a súa proa cara a ámbitos xeográficos e de coñecemento diversos e diferentes. Entendendo os Estudos Irlandeses como un abanico amplo que permite estudar outros espazos, este GI interésase polos movementos culturais, sociopolíticos e epistemolóxicos bañados polo Océano Atlántico.
