Rev. Robert A. Dowd, C.S.C. is an American Catholic priest of the Congregation of Holy Cross and the incoming president of the University of Notre Dame in Indiana. On December 4, 2023, Dowd was announced as the 18th university president, to succeed John I. Jenkins on July 1, 2024.[1]
Dowd earned his BA in psychology and economics from the University of Notre Dame in 1987, and an MDiv from the Jesuit School of Theology at Berkeley in 1993. He later earned an MA in African Studies from UCLA in 1998, followed by a PhD in political science in 2003.[1]
He was the director of the Notre Dame Millennial Development Initiative in the Mpigi District in Uganda, an initiative to advance agriculture, education and health initiatives.[2]
His 2015 book titled Christianity, Islam, and Liberal Democracy: Lessons from Sub-Saharan Africa was praised by many and called "groundbreaking" by reviewer Muhammed Haron.[3] In it, he makes the case that religious tolerance in Nigeria and other African countries happens because of a variety of religions, rather than in spite of it.[4]
