Celtic Cultural Studies is an independently-published and peer-reviewed interdisciplinary academic journal. Its aim is to publish papers on diverse subjects relating to all cultures from the Celtic territories and their diasporas, from all historical periods and geographical locations, within a broadly Cultural Studies perspective. As such, the journal does not limit itself to traditions specifically associated with Celtic languages per se but embraces consideration of issues in Scottish Studies, Cornish Studies, Irish Studies, and so forth.

The editorial board has no specific political, ideological, or disciplinary bias and welcomes proposed contributions from all interested parties. The journal considers papers written from within any of the humanities (and other) disciplines.

Celtic Cultural Studies was officially launched on 1st May 2000 and is only available online, without subscription and free of charge.
