Tha ùidh agam ann an eachdraidh agus cultur na Gàidhealtachd anns a h-uile linn, gu h-àraid linn nam fineachan eadar deireadh na siathamh linn deug agus deireadh na h-ochdamh linn deug ann an raon farsaing de chuspairean, iad seo, mar leanas gu h-ìosal, nam measg sin:

Malairt, coigrich agus luchd siubhail thall sa bhos air Ghaidhealtachd ro 1760
Coluadar eadar an àrainneachd agus na daoine air Ghaidhealtachd
Cultur is coimhearsnachd nam fineachan Gaidhealach
Gàidhlig! – mìle bliadhna de eachdraidh a’ chànain
Teacsaichean Beurla agus Gàidhlig – ann an làmh-sgrìobhainn agus ann an clò
Planntachadh, leudachadh cumhachd na stàite is buaidh seo air coimhearsnachdan na Gaidhealtachd
Buaidh foghlaim is comasan sgrìobhaidh air a’ Ghaidhealtachd thar nan linntean
Na Gaidheil anns a' bhaile-mhor agus thall-thairis

I am interested in all aspects of the history and culture of the Highlands and Islands of Scotland with a focus on the period between the end of the sixteenth century and the end of the eighteenth century. I would welcome proposals for research (either English or Gaelic medium) on a broad range of topics related to this including areas such as the history of:

Textual cultures, print and manuscript, of the early modern Gaelic world
Gaelic – the history of the language in Scotland over the last 1000 years
Plantation, state formation and Highland society
Clans and Clanship. Society and culture in the Highlands
Resource exploitation and the environment in the early modern Gaidhealtachd
Commerce, trade and travellers to and from the Highlands prior to 1760
Education and literacy in the Highlands pre 1800
Gaelic communities and networks in Scotland and beyond
