Brian Ó Broin is a professor of linguistics, medieval literature, and Irish studies at William Paterson University, New Jersey. He publishes widely in both academic and popular journals. His language and literature classes draw a wide variety of students from incoming freshmen to graduate students, and he supervises both undergraduate-level independent studies and graduate-level dissertations. He occasionally offers not-for-credit classes in Irish (Gaelic), both in New Jersey and around the United States. Professor Ó Broin presents academic papers in all three of his academic disciplines at conferences around the world.
