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.

With the Keough School's scholarly and policy objectives in mind, he spearheaded the establishment of the Clingen Center and appointed Professor Barr as its director. Professor Griffin will conclude his exceptional six year tenure as the Thomas Moore and Judy Livingston Director at the end of 2024.
