Professor of Political Science & History Ira Katznelson – DT015
Ira Katznelson is the Ruggles Professor of History and Political Science at Columbia University. A prolific scholar and one of the nation's leading social scientists, Ira's work has covered a broad range of questions in the field of American politics, political history, political theory, comparative politics, and the study of race and politics. His contributions to the discipline of political science are deep and wide. Ira has twice served on Columbia's faculty. He has also taught at the University of Chicago, served as Dean of the Graduate Faculty at the New School for Social Research, has been elected to the Presidency of the American Political Science Association, led the Social Science Research Council as its president, and most recently, Ira served as Interim Provost of Columbia University.
In this episode, Professor Katznelson talks to Dean Harris about how he decided to cross the Brooklyn Bridge to attend college in Morningside Heights, how he decided to pursue the study of history in graduate school, but has centered his intellectual career in the discipline of political science. I also invited Ira to reflect on his longstanding engagement with the study of liberal democratic societies and liberalism more generally.
