University of Galway

In this episode of the Cois Coiribe Podcast, host Mike McCormack, author and lecturer at the University of Galway, speaks with Christian Wallace, writer, journalist, screenwriter and University of Galway alumnus.

Originally from West Texas, Christian graduated from the University's MA in Writing programme. Since then, he has built an impressive career in journalism and television. A former Senior Editor at Texas Monthly, he is the co-creator of the Paramount+ hit series Landman, alongside Taylor Sheridan, and has been nominated for multiple National Magazine Awards.

Christian reflects on his time at the University of Galway, the impact of the MA in Writing on his career, the art of storytelling, and his journey from journalism to creating one of television's most talked-about dramas.

Cois Coiribe Podcast explores how the University of Galway and its global alumni community are shaping research, culture, innovation, and public life around the world through conversations with leading thinkers, researchers, graduates, and change makers.

Sa eipeasóid seo, labhraíonn Emma Goode, Ceann Tionscadal MicroCreds Ollscoil na Gaillimhe, le Tomas Ó Maolalaidh ó Acadamh na hOllscolaiochta Gaeilge. Is é aidhm an mhodúil seo go mbeadh tuiscint ag an mac léinn ar an bpleanáil teanga, mar choincheap, agus ar an bpróiseas a bhaineann léi mar chleachtas agus mar ghníomh feidhmeach. Déanfar scagadh ar na réimsí éagsúla den phleanáil teanga – an phleanáil chorpais, an phleanáil stádais agus an phleanáil sealbhaithe – agus déanfar iniúchadh ar an gcaidreamh atá idir na réimsí sin agus próiseas na pleanála teanga féin. Chuige sin, breathnófar ar stair agus ar fhorás na pleanála teanga in Éirinn ó bhunú an tSaorstáit anuas go dtí na 1990idí.

Sa eipeasóid seo, labhraíonn Emma Goode, Ceann Tionscadal MicroCreds Ollscoil na Gaillimhe, le Dr Hugh Rowland ó Acadamh na hOllscolaiochta Gaeilge. Sa mhodúl seo déanfar na mic léinn a chumasú i rialacha gramadaí na Gaeilge, i gcomhréir agus i ndeilbhíocht na teanga, agus i gceartúsáid na teanga. Déanfar anailís ar ghnéithe de chóras gramadaí agus de chomhréir na Gaeilge, agus déanfar dianchleachtadh ar mhíreanna gramadaí ionas go mbainfear ardchruinneas amach. Déanfar an cruinneas sa Ghaeilge a threisiú tuilleadh trí mheán an aistriúcháin agus na scríbhneoireachta. Déanfar cleachtaí ar bhonn rialta a rachaidh chun tairbhe do chumas scríofa na mac léinn.
