Craig Dobbin Legacy Programme

The Craig Dobbin Legacy Programme (CDLP) is an initiative of the Ireland Canada University Foundation (ICUF), the UCD Centre for Canadian Studies, and UCD’s College of Arts and Humanities. The programme, which marks the end of the Craig Dobbin Visiting Chair in Canadian Studies at UCD, aims at planting the seeds for a whole new phase of UCD’s engagement with scholars and universities in Canada, and Canadian Studies over the coming years.

The CDLP has two distinct strands: strand one is the Craig Dobbin Legacy Scholarships, and strand two is a series of high-profile lectures that will take place in Ireland and in Canada. Details of the lecture series will be shared in the coming months.
