Student Development Theory and the Transformation of Student Affairs in the 1970s
Student development theory (SDT) is a diverse corpus of academic and popular psychology with real-world application to the maturation of college and university students. It originated during the campus upheavals of the 1960s as part of a collective effort to reconcile restive students to mass higher education and modern technological society. Then, in the 1970s, SDT was implemented and refined by an ambitious generation of student affairs profess…
Research excellence and the origins of the managerial university in Thatcher's Britain
This article is the first properly historical treatment of the intrusive regime of research (and now teaching) assessments that are now familiar to all UK academics. Eight times since the mid-1980s, British universities have been required to participate in ‘research selectivity’, ‘research assessment’, or ‘research excellence’ exercises conducted on a national scale, and designed to introduce corporate management techniques into higher education.…
The Last Project of the Republic of Letters
Menschenzucht
This is an entertaining, important, and at times shocking book. Its subject is the prehistory of attempts to improve the quality of the human population by breeding better people. ‘Every race-horse, every straight-backed bull, every premium pig tells us what we can do and what we must do for man’ (p. 269). So wrote John Humphrey Noyes, who founded the free-loving Oneida utopian community in 1848 in upstate New York. Noyes came near the end of a l…
The Emancipation of Writing
Peter Drucker's Protestant Ethic
Peter Drucker (1909–2005) is celebrated as perhaps the greatest management guru, and one of the greatest futurists, of the twentieth century, but he has rarely been taken seriously as an intellectual. Raised in Vienna among a cohort of émigré academics that included Schumpeter, Hayek, and von Mises, among others, Drucker was both deeply learned and incredibly prolific. This essay seeks to rehabilitate Drucker as a humanistic social thinker, reint…

Current Trends in Knowledge Production
Building on the author’s recent survey of Western knowledge institutions since antiquity, this article assesses the impact of current trends in information technology, higher education, science, and the environment on knowledge production. Its focus on institutions diverges from conventional histories of ideas, media, and technologies but also from the understandings of knowledge and information prevalent among economists. It instead identifies p…
Popular Culture and the Public Sphere in the Rhineland, 1800–1850
The Renaissance Academies between Science and the Humanities
The scientific academies of early modern Europe have long been recognized for their critical role in incubating and legitimating the Scientific Revolution. So also, academies dedicated to vernacular literature and language, opera and ballet, art and design, and speculative philosophy all contributed greatly to the emergence of new humanistic art forms. Rarely, though, have scholars asked whether a common institutional culture united the scientifi…

Hegel's Württemberg Commentary
G. W. F. Hegel's “Commentary on the Published Proceedings of the Estates Assembly in the Kingdom of Württemberg, 1815–1816” is the notoriously recondite philosopher's most lucid account of Germany's political transformation after the French Revolution and the Napoleonic wars. Written in a punchy, polemical style, yet brimming with philosophical distinctions, the 130–page essay features concrete analyses of political institutions, social groups, a…
The Emancipation of WritingGerman Civil Society in the Making, 1790s1820s
The Emancipation of Writing is the first study of writing in its connection to bureaucracy, citizenship, and the state in Germany. Stitching together micro- and macro-level analysis, it reconstructs the vibrant, textually saturated civic culture of the German southwest in the aftermath of the French Revolution and Napoleon's invasions. Ian F. McNeely reveals that Germany's notoriously oppressive bureaucracy, when viewed through the writing practi…
