Biography
In June 2012, the research project ‘Bilingualism in Medieval Ireland – language choice as a part of intellectual culture’ started at Utrecht University. The project is directed by Professor Peter Schrijver and Dr. Mícheál Ó Flaithearta. Nike Stam is one of two PhD students involved in investigating the systems and motivations behind medieval bilingualism. Her project focuses on the glosses of the medieval Saints’ calender of Oengus: the Félire Óengusso. Nike graduated in 2010 from Utrecht’s Research Master Medieval Studies on an edition of a Middle Irish text. As part of the Master’s course she spent 6 months at Trinity College Dublin. Her field of expertise mainly concerns Old, Middle and Modern Irish language and literature but you can wake her up for any Celtic language any time!
