Special collections libraries and archives shape the work of historians and other researchers by preserving and making accessible the records of our shared past. Yet they are also complex, vibrant institutions immersed in the changing social, cultural, academic, and information landscape of the 21st century. What challenges and opportunities to special collections libraries face, especially in an era of rapidly evolving information technology? How do different kinds of libraries and archives—from those situated at major universities to small, independent operations—address these opportunities and challenges? In this special conversation with Dr. Paul J. Erickson, the Randolph G. Adams Director of the William L. Clements Library at the University of Michigan, we'll dive into these and many more questions about the work of libraries and archives as they stake a claim in 21st-century America's hotly contested civic space.

This week we interview Tina Widowski who is Egg Farmers of Canada Chair in Poultry Welfare Research and Associate Professor in the Department of Animal Biosciences at the University of Guelph

During the nineteenth century, nearly ten thousand Americans traveled to Germany to study in universities renowned for their research and teaching. By the mid-twentieth century, American institutions led the world. How did America become the center of excellence in higher education? And what does that story reveal about who will lead in the twenty-first century? In Allies and Rivals: German-American Exchange and the Rise of the Modern Research University (University of Chicago Press, 2021), Dr. Emily Levine presents the first history of the ascent of American higher education seen through the lens of German-American exchange. “This book treats transatlantic culture exchange and competition as its topic, methodology, and causal historical mechanism. It uncovers the origins of the research university by pulling apart the strands of parallel, comparative, and intertwined stories that unfolded on both sides of the Atlantic. Chapters pair individuals and institutions from Germany and America to reveal side-by-side stories about how idealists made compromises to create universities they hoped would bring tangible benefits to their respective communities.” In a series of compelling portraits of such leaders as Wilhelm von Humboldt, Martha Carey Thomas, and W. E. B. Du Bois, Dr. Levine shows how academic innovators on both sides of the Atlantic competed and collaborated to shape the research university. Even as nations sought world dominance through scholarship, universities retained values apart from politics and economics. Open borders enabled Americans to unite the English college and German PhD to create the modern research university, a hybrid now replicated the world over. Dr. Levine argues that “the university did not emerge in isolation nor was it ever a finished project. Rather, the compromises were constantly renegotiated by these innovators and other social actors amid changing contexts. As the society that the university served evolved, the university coevolved into such forms as the central state university in Berlin, the land grant in California, and the privately funded urban university in Baltimore, and each time the academic social contract was reconstituted.” In a captivating narrative spanning one hundred years, Dr. Levine upends notions of the university as a timeless ideal, restoring the contemporary university to its rightful place in history. In so doing she reveals that innovation in the twentieth century was rooted in international cooperation—a crucial lesson that bears remembering today. This interview was conducted by Dr. Miranda Melcher whose doctoral work focused on post-conflict military integration, understanding treaty negotiation and implementation in civil war contexts, with qualitative analysis of the Angolan and Mozambican civil wars.

What are the differences between study programs at Research Universities and those at Universities of Applied Sciences? Which one prepares a student for a Master's Degree Program and which for employment? Should we care about academy snobbery? How can you choose the best possible university for our own circumstances, and what can you expect after getting a degree? Jenn and her guest share some very useful ideas and experiences that can be of great help to students and their parents. In the second part of the episode, Jenn talks with Andrew Smith, who received his master's degree at The University of Applied Science in Wiener Neustadt (Fachhochschule Wiener Neustadt), in Austria and is now working for Deloitte in the US. Andrew shares his story and gives advice on how to find the best university in Europe.  “By studying abroad, you are going to brand yourself, and for someone who wants more of that international focus, studying abroad is a no-brainer.” Andrew Smith

№15 Lianne Keiller, Stellenbosch UniversityMy guest for today's episode is Lianne Keiller, a Physiotherapist-turned-technologist who is now the IT Manager for Stellenbosch University in Cape Town, the oldest and one of the largest Higher Ed institutions in South Africa.In this fantastic conversation, we talk about almost everything under the sun related to the delivery of a successful elearning experience for a very diverse community of over 25,000 students.From the LMS choice, to the “lobbying” that allowed them to provide laptops and “zero-rated” access to the Moodle LMS; to the “unprecedented” levels of student stress and anxiety that led to the improvement of digital services support and the Mobile learning experience; you will definitely find Lianne's stories fascinating, and maybe even relatable.In this exciting conversation we talk about:What is it like to work at Stellenbosch University, a public research institution, the oldest in South Africa; and what it means to be a “previously privileged” universityHow the pandemic did not disrupt the school year for South African students, but it turned out to be “trial by fire” for IT administratorsThe community engagement-based strategies that allowed the team led by Lianne to provide comprehensive technological solutions to a vast community, even at times of record stress and anxiety levels among studentsThe “organic” upbringing of Lianne surrounded by tech, including an early cellphone adopter parent, a lifelong familiarity with all kinds of tech, and her final transition from the medical field into a full-time tech managerLianne's thoughts on budget-proof tech and a curriculum that is able to adapt to what students have access to and with which they are comfortable.~

Kara C. Gilliard is the Controller at Johnson C. Smith University (JCSU), a private, co-ed historically black four-year Research University in the heart of Charlotte, NorthCarolina. Kara is a proud graduate of Winston Salem State University (WSSU), where she received a BS in Accounting in 2001. She went on to receive her Master of Accountancy from New England College in 2010. Presently, she is working on her Doctorate in Business Administration with a concentration in Advanced Accounting at Northcentral University. After graduating from WSSU, Kara launched her career in Atlanta, Georgia, where she worked for a mega-church as the accounting clerk and later grew into the accounting supervisor. This role ignited her passion for working with non-profits and eventually led to starting her own business geared towards accounting for non-profit organizations. After working as an accounting consultant for multiple non-profit organizations, Kara went to work for the Medical University of South Carolina (MUSC) as a Grants Administrator and later promoted to a Grants Manager. At MUSC, she managed over $30 million, in grants, for thirteen different departments within the Department of Medicine. After leaving the Medical University, she became a Budget Supervisor for Charleston County School District. As Kara’s love for the education industry evolved, she realized that she felt “at home” in higher education administration. She later became the Assistant Dean of Finance and Administration at North Carolina Central University; the Controller at the Charlotte School of Law; and now Controller at JCSU. Kara is the mother of two beautiful daughters, Ciara (22) and Kaitlyn (10). She lends her talents to entrepreneurs in search of their purpose in life and business, as well as, works with churches and other non-profit organizations to improve their administrative and financial functions.

A professor of Leadership and Management at the University of Guelph in Ontario, Canada, Dr. Sean Lyons focuses his research on intergenerational differences and how they impact workforce management and workplace dynamics. His research has appeared in Time Magazine, CTV News Channel, the Business News Network, CBC Radio’s The Current, and other media outlets. Dr. Lyons joins me on this episode to share some of the workplace and managerial challenges that involve generational differences. He shares factors that organizations need to address to bridge the generational gap such as the language of values in the workplace and the means of measuring performance. He also shares some thought-provoking results in his research regarding job choices, minimalist living versus growth mentality, and some key indications on why we need to keep looking into intergenerational matters.   “Bridging the gap between values, having people talk about what’s important to them allows you to get to the underlying issues.” - Sean Lyons   Today on the Creative Disruption Podcast: Inter-generational concerns that Sean sees in organizations Why today is a good time to get into the workforce Foreseeing the challenge of caring for the next generation workforce The difference on how this generation views diversity and inclusion The mismatch between this generation’s skills and capabilities and the responsibilities asked of them Why this generation is more entrepreneurial compared to the older generations Motivators of Generation X and why they appreciate millennials How millennials can empower the younger generation Why the ability to step outside of ourselves is another big challenge How he mentors the younger generation as he deals with inter-generational conflict The connection between general identity and people’s place in history   Sean’s Advice for Future-Proofing Your Business: With the rise of anxiety and suicidal attempts, organizations should be getting ready to care for and protect their employees.

In the second part of our exploration of the history of universities, we discuss the apotheosis of the university in the American republic, the rise of the German-style research university, and the arrival of women in the elite universities. We end by considering the current crisis of universities, as humanities departments disappear, sexual-assault scandals tarnish prestigious schools, and the public turns an increasingly jaundiced and cynical eye toward the academic “ivory tower.” Please support Historiansplaining, in the spirit of knowledge and inquiry, and to get patron-only lectures such as my latest on political left and right: www.patreon.com/user?u=5530632 Suggested further reading: Walter Ruegg, ed., “A History of the University in Europe,” 4 vols.; William Clark, “Academic Charisma and the Origins of the Research University”; Peter Novick, “That Noble Dream: The Objectivity Question and the American Historical Profession”; Henry Adams, “The Education of Henry Adams”; Chad Wellmon, “A Wild Muddle: Have American Elite Colleges Lost Their Moral Purpose Altogether?” Image: “Alma Mater,” Columbia University, New York City, photographed by Beyond My Ken.

Universities are unique -- a quintessential product of the High Middle Ages that has miraculously survived and even flourished in the modern world. In the first part of the history of universities, we examine the origins of the first universities in the power struggles of Popes and emperors; the ways that medieval students learned, lived, and annoyed their elders; and the ways that universities adapted to and withstood serious challenges from Renaissance humanism and the republic of letters. Next will be the rise of universities in America, the modern research university, and the current crisis of academia.

I have a conversation with a friend in the scientific field about the recently exposed "Sokal Squared" academic hoax, by which three junior professors concocted a series of intentionally absurd, nonsensical articles and had several of them accepted into respectable academic journals. What are the implications of their success? Is "theory" or "postmodernism" to blame? The lax standards of humanities journals? The drive to "publish or perish" in academia? Does the problem extend to social science or "hard science" fields? And what should be done about it? We try to sort through the confusing picture, and I recommend possible responses, such as the inclusion of non-academics in the peer-review process.

We all  use filler words. It’s normal to pause in between thoughts and use uhms, ers, and other filler words.  It’s when you use too many of them it interferes with your effectiveness in delivering your message. It also makes your listeners work harder to get to the heart of what you have to say.  When filler words fill your delivery, they undermine your credibility and authority, make you sound less confident and distract from your message.  Used to the extreme, filler words become verbal white noise the brain has to filter out to get to the meat of your message.  When you are delivering a message about an important project at work, or your service that will change lives, that's a distraction you can do without. Learn:  Why we use filler words How they affect your credibility What you can do to stop saying uhm It's a quick listen so you can put these tips to work right away.

We will look at some of the elements of this consensus, at how the desire for stability influences corporate policy, and some of the consequences of the Keynesian consensus.

We will look at some of the elements of this consensus, at how the desire for stability influences corporate policy, and some of the consequences of the Keynesian consensus.

We rely on universities to conduct research that seeks to explore and address society’s most complex and pressing problems—from obesity and cancer to energy and climate change. However, universities rely increasingly on money from industry to fund scientific research. Sometimes industry support comes in the form of research grants; at other times, in the form of corporate philanthropy. Critics often express concern about individual financial conflicts of interest, pointing to several studies that find a correlation between industry funding of research and results that are more favorable to industry sponsors. However, far less attention has been paid to the broader systemic effects of industry funding on research universities and on scientific research. This lecture will explore these broader systemic effects, and examine the ethical implications of academy-industry relations, with a focus on institutional integrity; scientific integrity; and trust and confidence in scientists, their institutions, and the products of their research. Jonathan H. Marks is currently a non-residential fellow at theJonathan H. Marks Edmond J. Safra Center for Ethics at Harvard University. He leads a collaborative research project that is jointly funded by the Rock Ethics Institute and the Edmond J. Safra Center for Ethics (through its Lab on Institutional Corruption), exploring the ethical and policy implications of industry sponsorship of health-related food research, nutrition education, and practice. Marks has co-organized—with Donald B. Thompson, emeritus professor of food science at Penn State—a workshop sponsored by the Rock Ethics Institute on “The Ethical Challenges and Policy Implications of Industry-Funded Health-Related Food Research” (Penn State, March 2008), a follow-up symposium entitled “Industry Sponsorship and Health-Related Food Research Institutional Integrity, Ethical Challenges, and Policy Implications” (Penn State, March 2012); and the Rock Ethics Institute’s Food Ethics Lecture Series 2011–12. Marks took the lead role in developing Penn State’s new dual-title Ph.D. program in bioethics (the first of its kind in the country) that allows and requires students to combine bioethics with one of a number of other disciplines in their dissertation. Marks has published widely on the intersections of law, ethics, human rights, and policy, and his work has appeared in the New England Journal of Medicine, American Journal of Law and Medicine, American Journal of Bioethics, and the Hastings Center Report (among others). He has also authored or co-authored op-eds for the New York Times, Los Angeles Times and The Times (London) (among others). In addition to his work on food ethics, he writes about, teaches courses, and has co-organized an international conference on neuroethics and neurolaw. He has also written extensively about the role of health professionals in detention and interrogation in the “war on terror”—part of an ongoing larger project that explores the relationship between professional ethics and human rights. Jonathan Marks spent 2009–2011 in residence at the Edmond J. Safra Center for Ethics at Harvard, and prior to joining Penn State, was a Greenwall Fellow in Bioethics at Georgetown and Johns Hopkins Universities. Marks is also a barrister and academic member of Matrix Chambers, London. While in full time legal practice, he was involved in a number of landmark cases including the Pinochet case and the Olivieri case—the latter arising from a dispute between a physician-researcher and the drug company sponsor of her clinical trials.

For Arctic Frontiers 2013, we're speaking with attendees, speakers and guests of the conference about their work and their hopes for the future Arctic. In this interview, we hear from Curt Rice of the University of Tromso, who is concerned that the value of threatened languages and cultures in the Arctic is being left out of the conversation about Arctic development. Follow along with us at www.arcticfrontiers.com or www.thearcticinstitute.org. This series is a joint effort of Arctic Frontiers, the Geopolitics in the High North program and The Arctic Institute.

Laura Stark‘s lucid and engaging new book explores the making and enacting of the rules that govern human subjects research in the US. Using a thoughtfully conceived combination of ethnographic and archival work, Behind Closed Doors: IRBs and the Making of Ethical Research (University of Chicago Press, 2012) locates the emergence of a system of “governing with experts” by Institutional Review Boards (IRBs) in the middle of the twentieth century. Stark shows how the features that now characterize the IRB deliberations that consider whether research on people can proceed in institutional contexts emerged in the particular context of the NIH Clinical Research Committee in 1950s and 1960s, and she explains how they managed to spread thereafter across the US and the globe. Behind Closed Doors draws from a wide and transdisciplinary set of methodological resources in articulating the power of performative language in shaping negotiations around human subjects research, suggesting innovative ways to read documentary evidence as a narrative of voices in time. True to its title, Stark’s story takes us behind the closed doors of occasionally heated IRB deliberations. It also introduces us to some of the spirited and disruptive “healthy patients” of the Clinical Center at the National Institutes of Health (NIH), prisoners and conscientious objectors among them, as they were dosed with LSD or infected with malaria and influenza, making a kind of home in the Center or cleverly escaping from it. It’s a wonderfully stimulating book that should be widely read and included on the syllabi of many graduate seminars to come. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

The Ohio State University, a large land-grant university dating from 1870, has changed greatly over the past 10 years. It has improved its national and international reputation according to available measures, as follows: * Shanghai Jiao Tong Index: 82nd (2003) - 62nd (2008) * U.S. News and World Report: 62nd (2005) - 56th (2009) * Times Higher Education World Ranking: 206th (2005) - 120th (2007) More importantly, and much more objectively, its attractiveness to students and to external research sponsors has increased markedly in measurable ways that will be presented. While such progress is intriguing, it is truly remarkable in view of the steadily declining state support over this period: 20% decline of funding over 20 years. A few of the major programs and drivers of this progression in the 21st century will be reviewed, and conclusions about their effectiveness drawn.
