Association of British and Irish Lusitanists (ABIL)

Description

The Association of British and Irish Lusitanists aims to promote and encourage scholarly research and teaching in Great Britain and Ireland into the study of the languages and cultures of the Portuguese-speaking world. ABIL provides a forum for the discussion and elaboration of these aims by members, acting to secure the support of governments and other appropriate agencies and institutions for those activities, and to promote the widest possible awareness of their cultural, educational and vocational importance.

The idea for an independent organisation representing the interests of scholars of the Lusophone world at British and Irish universities originated at the Conference of the AIL, Associação Internacional de Lusitanistas, in Santiago de Compostela in the summer of 2005. This reflected a growing confidence amongst scholars within the field in the maturity and diversity of the subject area, as reflected in the growing numbers of institutions where Portuguese can be studied as an independent academic discipline.
