Many thanks to Michael Linkletter, Ranke de Vries and St. Francis Xavier University for hosting CSANA 2026. It is with great joy that CSANA was able to return once again to the cradle of Gaelic education in North America!
The CSANA 2027 meeting will take place online, so as not to conflict with the International Congress of Celtic Studies being held that Spring. The conference will be hosted by Virginia Tech, February 25–28, 2027 with details and a call for papers forthcoming 1 September 2026.
