[lg policy] Who are our Welsh heroes?

A week ago in Caernarfon the IWA and Galeri’s inaugural Owain Glyn Dŵr’ Day annual lecture was
delivered by the poet Mererid Hopwood. We shall be publishing an extract from the lecture in the
forthcoming issue of the IWA’s journal the welsh agenda later this autumn.

Mererid’s theme was absorbing for anyone preoccupied with Welsh matters. Her starting point was two
questions: How does language define a people and how do people define their language? What is the
influence of language on thought, and why is language much more than words and grammar?

(If this feather tickles your intellectual fancy, just move your mouse over the link and do what
comes naturally.)
