  • The Social and Political Views of American Professors
    THE SOCIAL AND POLITICAL VIEWS OF AMERICAN PROFESSORS Neil Gross Harvard University [email protected] Solon Simmons George Mason University [email protected] Working Paper, September 24, 2007 Comments and suggestions for revision welcome In 1955, Columbia University sociologist Paul Lazarsfeld received a grant from The Ford Foundation’s newly established Fund for the Republic – chaired by former University of Chicago President Robert M. Hutchins – to study how American social scientists were faring in the era of McCarthyism. A pioneering figure in the use of social surveys, Lazarsfeld employed interviewers from the National Opinion Research Center and Elmo Roper and Associates to speak with 2451 social scientists at 182 American colleges and universities. A significant number of those contacted reported feeling that their intellectual freedom was being jeopardized in the current political climate (Lazarsfeld and Thielens 1958). In the course of his research, Lazarsfeld also asked his respondents about their political views. Analyzing the survey data on this score with Wagner Thielens in their 1958 book, The Academic Mind, Lazarsfeld observed that liberalism and Democratic Party affiliation were much more common among social scientists than within the general population of the United States, and that social scientists at research universities were more liberal than their peers at less prestigious institutions. Although The Academic Mind was published too late to be of any help in the fight against McCarthy (Garfinkel 1987), it opened up a new and exciting area of sociological research: study of the political views of academicians. Sociologists of intellectual life, building on the contributions of Karl Marx, Max Weber, Karl Mannheim, and others, had 1 long been interested in the political sympathies of intellectuals (see Kurzman and Owens 2002), but most previous work on the topic had been historical in nature and made sweeping generalizations on the basis of a limited number of cases.

  • MIT's Openness to Jewish Economists
    MIT’s Openness to Jewish Economists by E. Roy Weintraub CHOPE Working Paper No. 2013-05 June 2013 MIT’S OPENNESS TO JEWISH ECONOMISTS E. Roy Weintraub Duke University June 26, 2013 Abstract MIT emerged from “nowhere” in the 1930s to its place as one of the three or four most important sites for economic research by the mid-1950s. A conference held at Duke University in April 2013 examined how this occurred. In this paper the author argues that the immediate postwar period saw a collapse – in some places slower, in some places faster – of the barriers to the hiring of Jewish faculty in American colleges and universities. And more than any other elite private or public university, particularly Ivy League universities, MIT welcomed Jewish economists. JEL Classification: A14, B00, B20 Keywords: MIT, Jewish faculty, anti-Semitism, Samuelson Page 1 of 16 This paper will appear, in an edited form, in the Supplementary Issue to Volume 46 of the History of Political Economy, and in the 2014 Duke University Press hardcover book titled MIT and the Transformation of American Economics.

MIT’s Openness to Jewish Economists E. Roy Weintraub1 MIT emerged from “nowhere” in the 1930s to its place as one of the three or four most important sites for economic research by the mid-1950s. Other papers in this volume provide a variety of narratives of how this occurred. Here I point out that the immediate postwar period saw a collapse – in some places slower, in some places faster – of the barriers to the hiring of Jewish faculty in American colleges and universities.

DESCRIPTORS Careers; *College Faculty; Culture; Higher Education; Institutional Characteristics; Organizations (Groups); Power Structure; *Professional Occupations; Professors; Researchers; Research Utilization; *Teaching (Occupation) IDENTIFIERS Academic Structure ABSTRACT The condition of the academic profession today is examined with a focus on the teaching and research functions in the academy. The diverse settings in which academics work are considered in three parts: (1) the foundations of the academic profession (the evolution of institutions; the elaboration of disciplines; and the open system); (2) the dimensions of academic professionalism (the imperatives of academic work; the enclosures of cilture; the grip of authority; the promises of career; and the ties cf association); and (3) the logic of the profession. Three judgments on the logic of the acdemic profession in America deal with: the hegemony of subjects; the dual commitment of academics to subjects and institutions, which greatly strengthens centrifugal forces in the profession; and the nature of research and teaching as human activities that promote the tendency for academic life to remain a calling. Appended are research focus and procedures; American disciplinary associations (1985); supplementary tables on the imperatives of academic work, the enclosures of culture, and the promises of career.

Dissertation Advisor: Lizabeth Cohen Sam Hoffmann Rosenfeld A Choice, Not an Echo: Polarization and the Transformation of the American Party System Abstract This dissertation offers an intellectual and institutional history of party polarization and ideological realignment in the postwar United States. It treats the construction of an ideologically sorted party system as a political project carried out by conscious actors within and around the Democratic and Republican parties. The work of these activists, interest groups, and political elites helped to produce, by the last decades of the twentieth century, an unpredicted and still-continuing era of strong, polarized partisanship in American politics.
