Jun. 11--WVU Professor Joe D. Hagan was named the first Barnette Professor of Political Science in the Eberly College of Arts and Sciences at WVU.
Hagan is chair of the Department of Political Science and the director of international studies. He was recommended to Eberly College Dean Mary Ellen Mazey and WVU President David C. Hardesty Jr. for the position by a special screening committee in the college.
Hagan's research and teaching focuses on international relations and, in particular, U.S. and comparative foreign policy analysis. He has written and edited several books on how leadership and domestic politics influence foreign policy.
Hagan has received both the WVU Foundation Outstanding Teaching Award and the Benedum Distinguished Scholar Award, the two top teaching and research awards at the university. Dr. Hagan was a recipient of a Pew Faculty Fellowship in International Affairs at Harvard University, and was program chair of the 1999 annual conference of the International Studies Association, Washington, D.C.
Curtis H. "Hank" Barnette provided the endowment for this professorship. Barnette completed his undergraduate degree in political science at WVU in 1956, and then became a Fulbright Scholar at the University of Manchester in England, where he studied international law.
He is a member of the WVU Board of Governors and the WVU Foundation Board of Directors.
