RT info:eu-repo/semantics/article T1 “AEDEI has been and is my life”: an interview with professor Inés Praga Terente A1 Barros del Río, María Amor K1 Irish Studies K1 AEDEI K1 Inés Praga Terente K1 Estudios Irlandeses K1 Literatura irlandesa K1 Irish literature AB In this interview, Professor Inés Praga Terente reviews the evolution of AEDEI from its origins to the present. As a founding member and its Chairperson until 2007, Professor Inés Praga has been a key force in the creation of AEDEI at a time when Ireland was not considered a field of study in the Spanish academia. In this interview, she recalls that a personal event in her life became the turning point that would lead her academic career towards Irish literature. Also, she recalls the timid and humble attempts made by her and a group of scholars to explore Irish literature and culture. Overcoming the difficulties and challenges that entailed the launching of an association, they finally succeeded in 2001 and AEDEI was born. In a personal and vivid style, she displays the clues that have made AEDEI not only a renowned forum for national and international lecturers, scholars and students, but also a community where passion and inspiration in Irish Studies are shared.
