Fáilte chuig clár cinn pearsanta Anthony McCann

Rugadh i Machaire Fíolta, Condae Dhoire mé i 1972, ach ní raibh an scéal leath chomh simplí ina dhiaidh sin. Sna seachtóidí tógadh sa Nua Shéalainn mé mar go raibh post ag m'athair thíos ansin. Thángamar ar ais go hÉirinn i 1980, ochtar sa teaghlach againn, agus faoi dheireadh lonnaíomar i Rinn Mhic Ghiolla Rua sa Tuaisceart, taobh leis an teorainn. Níl ord nó eagar ar an mhéid Gaeilge ata ar fail ar an suíomh seo. Saolaíodh an suíomh as a raibh ar siúl agam i mBéarla, ach déanfaidh mé iarracht anois is arís níos mó Gaeilge a chuir ar fáil daoibh.

Welcome to the personal website of Anthony McCann

Born in 1972, I come from Warrenpoint, County Down, in Northern Ireland. I have a fairly wide range of interests, most of which I can thankfully indulge in my position as Lecturer of Contemporary Folk Culture at the Academy for Irish Cultural Heritages at the University of Ulster's Magee campus in Derry (also known by some as Londonderry. It's a long story). As far as disciplines go, I currently consider myself primarily a Social Ecologist, although I have also worn the hats of Celtic Studies, Spanish, Irish Studies, Ethnomusicology, Anthropology, Sociology, and Cultural Policy and Management. Themes of interest to me include gentleness; the oppressive dimensions of music and copyright legislation; dynamics of personal, social, and political 'enclosure'; helpful pedagogy; and conflict transformation. I hope I'm a half-decent son, brother, uncle, and friend, and I dabble in various music- and song-related activities.
