About Eavan O'Keeffe

Hello! I'm Eavan, a second-year student at Trinity College Dublin studying English and Linguistics. This summer, I'll be researching ideas of linguistic ethnogenesis. I will investigate how anti-immigrant rhetoric is constructed on false beliefs of historical monolingualism that harmfully 'other' ethnic groups who don't fit within a certain idea of nationhood. My research covers a diverse range of topics, including linguistics, literature, classics, and history. I'm really excited to see where my journey with the Laidlaw Programme will take me!
