Tha ùidh agam ann an eachdraidh agus cultur na Gàidhealtachd anns a h-uile linn, gu h-àraid linn nam fineachan. Chuireamaid fàilte air tagradh-rannsachaidh tro mheadhan na Gàidhlig (no tro mheadhan na Beurla) mu iomadh chuspair co-cheangailt ri eachdraidh is cultur na Gaidhealtachd 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

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 (but not limited to) 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
