The presence of the Haddad Foundation in Ireland

Abstract

This text recounts key moments in the decade-long cooperation between the Haddad Foundation and Trinity College Dublin, with the establishment of scholarship programmes fostering the Humanities and, more recently, a professorship at the Trinity Centre for Literary and Cultural Translation. Reference is made to the diversity of people and ideas that are a hallmark of the scholarship programmes sponsored by the Haddad Foundation, and how they have attracted students mostly of Literature and Theatre over the years, always in close connection with academic institutions such as the Brazilian Association of Irish Studies (ABEI) and the University of São Paulo.
