About Eavan O'Keeffe
Hello! I'm Eavan, a final-year undergraduate student at Trinity College Dublin studying English and Linguistics. In Summer 1, I researched ideas of linguistic ethnogenesis. I investigated 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. In Summer 2, I worked to promote conservation education with the Kasiisi Project on my LiA in Uganda.

Eavan - this is a really interesting study showing how perspectives surrounding multilingualism and monolingualism have evolved throughout time! It's really crucial to bear in mind ways the myth of monolingualism is used to marginalise immigrant communities and important to acknowledge nations and languages as fluid rather than fixed. Your solutions for overcoming these issues and supporting diverse realities and ethnolinguistic communities are truly inspiring!
Hi Hannah, thank you very much for your kind comment - I'm glad to hear that my research resonated with you!
