DESCRIPTION:Due to the weather\, this lecture has been postponed. We hope t
 o announce a new date soon.Emily J. Levine will be presenting at the Semin
 ar in Cultural History on Wednesday\, March 15 at 6 pm. Her talk is entitl
 ed “An Intellectual History of Financing Scholarship.” Emily J. Levine is 
 Associate Professor of Modern European History at the University of North 
 Carolina at Greensboro. She is the author of Dreamland of Humanists: Warbu
 rg\, Cassirer\, Panofsky\, and the Hamburg School (University of Chicago P
 ress\, 2013)\, which was awarded the Herbert Baxter Adams Prize by the Ame
 rican Historical Association in 2015 for the best book in European history
  from 1815 through the twentieth century. The book was also a finalist for
  the Jordan Schnitzer Book Award in Cultural and Media Studies awarded by 
 the Association for Jewish Studies. Levine spent 2012–2013 as an Alexander
  von Humboldt fellow at the Free University in Berlin. She received her Ph
 D and MA from Stanford University and her BA from Yale University\, where 
 she was also a Mellon Postdoctoral Fellow. She is now at work on a transat
 lantic history of the research university tentatively titled Exceptional I
 nstitutions: Cities\, Capital\, and the Rise of the Research University.Ne
 wly aware of the economic value of research\, early twentieth-century phil
 anthropists and governments on both sides of the Atlantic poured an unprec
 edented amount of money into academic organizations. However\, in the emer
 ging competition between Germany and America for global research hegemony\
 , leaders made divergent choices about where that research should occur\, 
 and how it should be governed. With the founding of the Kaiser Wilhelm Soc
 iety (later Max Plank Institutes) in 1910\, Germany moved much research ou
 tside the university\, whereas the contemporaneous founding of the Carnegi
 e institutions in the US supported research within it. Using a transatlant
 ic lens\, this talk examines the impact of these parallel and perpendicula
 r choices on the organization of scholarship at the turn of the last centu
 ry and the resonance of those choices today. It demonstrates that the mate
 rial conditions of scholarship are central to understanding the contexts i
 n which ideas emerge.
