Kevin O'Rourke joins Philip Lane, Macartan Humphreys and Patrick Honohan as Honorary Professor of the Department. Speaking of his new position, O'Rourke said:

I’m very happy to be once again affiliated with the department where I learned my first economics and discovered that I was interested in economic history. And it’s great to be associated with a group that has been doing so much to promote the field in recent years. I’m looking forward to interacting with colleagues in Trinity in the years to come.

Kevin O'Rourke is the Director of Research at CNRS and Professor of Economics at Sciences Po, Paris. 

Congratulations to both Professor Selim Gulesci on his promotion and Professor Kevin O'Rourke on his new appointment.
