Alvin Johnson, an economist and co-founder of The New School for Social Research, was born today in 1874
Johnson became the university’s first director in 1922, and helped numerous European scholars escape N**i persecution in the 1930s and 1940s by establishing the University in Exile at The New School. This history remains a cornerstone of the progressive approach to scholarship upheld by both Social Research and The New School.

He wrote many articles for the journal, including “The Theory of the Nth Wages Round” in our Winter 1949 issue. This article in particular remains pertinent today, as wages struggle to keep up with the current rate of inflation.

Tns Archives has an extensive collection from Johnson’s time as director of The New School, which can be explored here:

The question of public trust in science feels newly urgent, but today is not the first time that opposing ends of the American political spectrum have critiqued modern science. This dynamic has historical roots in the early 1970s, when critiques of science emerged simultaneously out of Civil Rights, feminist, and decolonization movements on the left, as well as within the creationism of the Christian Right.

In "Criticizing Science," Myrna Perez follows the public career of evolutionary biologist, political leftist, and anti-creationist Stephen Jay Gould during the final decades of the American twentieth century. By centering Gould, Perez clarifies divides among left, liberal, and right-wing movements over evolutionary science during the rise of the Christian Right and the expansion of academic feminism, and argues that we must contend with the radical possibilities that are opened by working for a resolutely democratic science.
