I only met Tom Garvin a few times, but I read & engaged him almost constantly over the decades. A great loss.

An excellent discussion with @MaryCMurphy about her important new position @BostonCollege and about how she and others grapple with North/South, Irish/UK, and Irish/EU relations. Well worth a read.
Warmest thanks to @freyamcc @IrishTimes for giving me the opportunity to talk about my new role here @BostonCollege, and in particular, my ambitions for Boston College's Irish Institute. https://t.co/XGBFTDVGN5
