There have been significant expansions in the expression of Celtic identity through sport this century. The Gaelic Athletic Association continued its 140-year history of exporting its games across the world. The games continue to have sizeable presences in diaspora spaces of North America and Australasia, but their popularity is also growing in Europe, particularly in France and Spain. The forthcoming symposium is aimed at gathering contemporary stories of sport’s contribution to the negotiation of Celtic identity in the 21st Century with a view to building a collaborative network of scholars
