Colin Barr has been appointed the next Thomas Moore and Judy Livingston Director of the Keough-Naughton Institute for Irish Studies, effective January 1, 2025. A distinguished historian of modern Ireland, Professor Barr currently directs the Clingen Family Center for the Study of Modern Ireland. He has played a crucial role in advancing Keough-Naughton's research and public education initiatives, thereby enhancing the Keough School's reputation as a policy school committed to innovative scholarship on contemporary challenges to integral human development.
