What does new historical research reveal about higher education's potential for transformation?

This week we'll explore the question with Emily J. Levine, Associate Professor of Education and (by courtesy) History at Stanford, author of the new book Allies and Rivals: German-American Exchange and the Rise of the Modern Research University.  Recently she has published "Can Universities Defy the New Nationalism?", "It’s time for an overhaul of academic freedom," "Why the ‘Academic Social Contract’ Is Breaking," and "10 Forgotten Leaders in Higher Education."  She was also interviewed by the Central European University's Review of Democracy.
