E-Town Prof on Humanities
Elizabethtown College professor Paul Gottfried was a featured speaker at a recent conference on “The Future of the Humanities in American Education” sponsored by the Ford Foundation and the Aspen Institute.
Gottfried is the college’s Raffensperger Professor of Humanities.
He was one of six speakers chosen to address the humanities and their effect on American public and academic life.
The series of addresses will be featured in a PBS special on the humanities in American education.
A contributing editor to Humanitas, Telos and Chronicles, Gottfried is the author of several books, including “The Conservative Movement,”"Carl Schmitt: Politics and Theory,”"After Liberalism: Mass Democracy in the Managerial State” and “Multiculturalism and the Politics of Guilt.”
His newest book, on the post-Marxist left in Europe, will be out from the University of Missouri Press in the spring.
Gottfried has given papers on the themes of this work as a George Mosse Lecturer on History at the University of Wisconsin, as a featured speaker at the Aspen Institute and as a participant at the national meeting of the Historical Society.
