Daire Kilian Keogh[2] (born July 1964[1]) is an academic historian and third-level educational leader, president of Dublin City University (DCU) since July 2020.

Keogh graduated in history, later taking a PhD while working part-time as a school teacher. He was a lecturer at a number of Irish third-level institutions, and then professor at, and later president (2012–2016) of, Ireland's main teacher training college, St Patrick's, Drumcondra. He has written or edited more than a dozen books in the fields of Irish revolutionary and religious history. After St Patrick's merged fully into DCU he was appointed as the university's deputy president, and after a long search process in 2018 and 2019, he was selected to become DCU's fourth president as of July 14, 2020, for a term of 10 years.[3]

Early life and education

Daire (sometimes written Dáire) Keogh was born to Peter and Cora Keogh of Rathfarnham,[4] and has four brothers and a sister. His father owned and ran Peter's Pub between South William Street and St Stephen's Green in central Dublin.[5] He attended Loreto Abbey National School, then Synge Street CBS.[4] He studied history, economics and philosophy at University College Dublin (UCD, within the National University of Ireland), securing a Bachelor of Arts in history.[6] He then studied for the priesthood at the Pontifical Gregorian University in Rome, and while he did not pursue ordination,[4] received a qualification (BPh) there.[6]

Academic career

On his return to Ireland he started work as a teacher at St Mac Dara's Community College in Templeogue[4] and successfully pursued a PhD in history at Trinity College Dublin. He graduated in 1993, with a thesis entitled The Catholic Church and Radicalism in Ireland in the 1790s.[7] He lectured and performed research at a range of Irish third-level institutions, including UCD, Trinity College, one or both of the universities in Maynooth, UCG, St Patrick's College, Drumcondra and the Oscail remote education centre hosted by DCU.[4] He also held a post for a time as adjunct professor at the University of Notre Dame, near South Bend in Indiana, one of the leading Catholic universities in North America[8] Keogh also took a master's degree in Theology at the University of Glasgow.[6][8]

Keogh lectured in Early Modern European and Irish history from at least 2001[9] in the Department of History within the Faculty of Humanities at St Patrick's College, Drumcondra, previously an autonomous institution but by then a college of DCU. By 2011, he was a Senior Lecturer.[10] He also served as Head of Quality Assurance.[11] He then held a named chair, as Cregan Professor of Modern Irish History.[12] He has also held the post of Fellow at the University Design Institute at Arizona State University.[8]

He was President of St Patrick's from 2012[13] to 2016, overseeing a broadening of its curriculum and the construction of a new library building.[6] He also became a director of the college's fundraising foundation.[14] St Patrick's fully merged into Dublin City University – forming the base for an Institute of Education, also incorporating other colleges, and a partial base for a Faculty of Humanities. This process Keogh led for St Patrick's. He was appointed as Deputy President of DCU, and his responsibilities included the non-academic aspects of student life, such as welfare, sporting and social activities, as well as interaction with DCU's alumni, and the university's strategic planning process.[15][8] He also played a key role in agreeing the move of the 140,000-volume library of the Jesuit order in Ireland to the branch of DCU's library at the All Hallows campus.[16] Keogh was selected in 2019 for the Staff Leadership Award, presented at the annual dinner of DCU's Leadership Circle of major donors.[17]

Areas of study

Keogh's research and publications work addresses aspects of Irish history including politics, education, religion and gender.[15] Specifically he has specialised in aspects of the history of the Catholic Church in Ireland and revolutionary politics in the 18th century.[9] He has won funding from the State-sponsored Irish Research Council and its predecessor the Irish Research Council for the Humanities and Social Sciences (IRCHSS), on at least two occasions: in 2007 he secured a Senior Research Fellowship for work on the history of the Irish Christian Brothers[2] and from 2008, project grant funding for work to edit and publish the correspondence of Cardinal Paul Cullen, for which he remains, as of 2020, principal investigator.[6][2] Keogh also chairs the editorial committee of DCU's journal of Irish Studies, Studia Hibernica, which covers the fields of history, folklore, toponymy and the Irish language.[3][18]

Voluntary posts

He has served as vice-president of a national trade union, the Irish Federation of University Teachers,[3] and was nominated by that body as a member of an EU third-level education quality assurance body, the European Quality Assurance Register (EQAR),[3] and the governing body of Ireland's National Council for Curriculum and Assessment, which oversees the primary school curriculum.[8][19]

Keogh became a member of the Policy and Standards Committee of Quality and Qualifications Ireland, the state body responsible for overseeing the Irish third-level qualifications framework and quality assurance structures, in April 2017,[20] and resigned with effect from July 2020, after his appointment as DCU president.[21][22] Keogh also chairs the Higher Education and Research Committee of the British Irish Chamber of Commerce,[23] and has written an article in a national newspaper setting out some committee positions and concerns around Brexit.[24]

As of 2020 he is, in a private capacity, a member of the governing body of the Edmund Rice Schools Trust, which manages more than 90 Catholic schools, and where he served for some time along with DCU's founding president, Danny O'Hare.[25] He has also been a member of the boards of both national schools in Drumcondra and Rathfarnham and the secondary school Clongowes Wood College.[8]

Keogh has also appeared on radio programmes, including speaking about the legacy of Cardinal Cullen on RTÉ Radio 1.[26] He has also spoken on the topic of capturing oral accounts of the COVID-19 pandemic.[27]

Keogh has qualified as a Chartered Director at the Institute of Directors.[8] He was a director, from 2013 to 2017, of the think tank, the Centre for Cross-Border Studies,[1] and has been a director of Women for Election which aims to boost the supply and confidence of women electoral candidates, since 2014.[28]

DCU presidency

Keogh was selected in December 2019, after an 18-month international search process,[29][6] and appointed by the Governing Authority for a term of ten years.[8]
