The Keough-Naughton Institute for Irish Studies is a research institute dedicated to the study and understanding of Irish culture—in Ireland and around the world—in all of its manifestations.
The Keough-Naughton Institute for Irish Studies is part of the Keough School of Global Affairs, advancing integral human development through research, policy, and practice.
A new initiative at the Institute expands our study of Ireland and its place in the world.
Every semester, the Institute invites scholars, diplomats, writers, artists, and public figures to participate in its lively Lectures and Public Talks series. Explore the 2023 offerings.
In this monthly feature, we highlight a work of Irish art—and then amplify its meaning through music and poetry.
Shinjini Chattopadhyay received her PhD in English, with an Irish Studies minor, in May 2022. Now an assistant professor at Georgia's Berry College, she studies global literatures from the early 20th century to contemporary times.
What are the points of similarity—and difference—between the Dublin of 1904 chronicled and celebrated in James Joyce’s "Ulysses" and the 21st-century city of Kolkata? Dr. Shinjini Chattopadhyay explores this question as a contributor to the newly published "The Book About Everything" (Head of Zeus, 2022), edited by Declan Kiberd, Enrico Terrinoni, and Catherine Wilsdon. The book was launched at the Notre Dame Dublin Global Gateway on Bloomsday 2022, as the culmination of the Keough-Naughton Institute’s year-long Global Ulysses project.
