(she/her)

Dr Pamela O’Neill is a Fellow of the Society of Antiquaries of Scotland, and was awarded the honour Tus Enorys Ewn by the Celtic Council of Australia. Pamela is series editor of the Sydney Series in Celtic Studies, co-editor of the Australian Celtic Journal, president of the Celtic Council of Australia and The Gaelic Club, vice-president of the Aisling Society of Sydney, the Irish National Association, and the Cornish Association of NSW. She was founder, president and journal editor of the Australian Early Medieval Association, which has made her an honorary life member.

She has published widely on early medieval Scottish and Irish ecclesiastical and legal history, landscape and material culture, and reflections of those themes in Australian history. Her teaching is primarily in medieval and modern Celtic languages, and this has led to a research interest in the history and teaching of Celtic languages, particularly in Australia.
