The Patrick McCarthy Classroom
The Patrick McCarthy Classroom honors one of the Bologna Center's most prolific and renowned professors.
McCarthy taught as resident professor of European Studies for more than 15 years before retiring as research professor. Fluent in four languages, Professor McCarthy's expertise ranged from all aspects of Western European politics to the sociology of sports. He wrote regularly on French and Italian politics for European newspapers and reviews for The Times Literary Supplement.
Professor McCarthy received his doctorate from Oxford and for several years taught at Haverford College in Pennsylvania as well as SAIS in Washington, D.C. He also had teaching appointments at Vassar College, Cornell and Cambridge universities.
Professor McCarthy wrote or edited more than a dozen books, spanning subjects from Camus to the crisis of the Italian state and from the relations between France and Germany to a post-war political history of Italy. Recent works included France-Germany, 1983-1993; Italy Since 1945; France-Germany in the Twenty-First Century; and Language, Politics and Writing: Stolen-telling in Western Europe.
An impassioned teacher, Professor McCarthy inspired three generations of students. He died on March 22, 2007. |
