Got a scholarship, plz suggest American radical professors to study under

[Prometheus Unbound]

Self-explanatory. Got any names of professors I can look up? I may be able to get into elite schools, but I'm worried about getting stuck among reactionaries and not be able to articulate my ideas freely.

Any pointers or advice will be of great help

[Prometheus Unbound]

I forgot to mention that it's radical political scientists that I'm looking for. My scholarship will cover a master's degree program

[RadioRaheem84]

New School of Social Research.

UMass-Amherst

Minqi Li at University of Utah

Pace University in NYC

David Harvey at CUNY Grad School

[The Ben G]

The one that comes off the bat is Noam Chomsky.

Well if you want to do linguistics at least.

Mind if you mention the professors at these universities? Note that Rick Wolff left UMass. Also, can't study under David Harvey since he teaches anthropology, not politics

Plus, he's retired

[KurtFF8]

Also, can't study under David Harvey since he teaches anthropology, not politicsWhat's wrong with anthro? And there aren't as many radical professors in political science (if that's what you were implying at least) as there are in anthropology and philosophy.

Also, I hear that Duke is a good place for radical study these days

I don't suggest that you look for an openly leftist political education in college. It's better to go where there is a leftist presence within the student body, to give you organizing opportunities. As long as your professors aren't right-wing fanatics or completely moronic liberals, you should be all right academically in terms of putting forth a leftist alternative in your papers and in class discussion.

[Sir Comradical]

Noam Chomsky, Norman Finkelstien, Michael Parenti and David Harvey.

[SocialismOrBarbarism]

Emanuele Saccarelli

[Raúl Duke]

Also, can't study under David Harvey since he teaches anthropology, not politicsPoli Sci isn't really much of a "radical" field from my experience, despite what some leftists assume. Hell, sometimes I think our history department is more knowledgeable/aware of what is Marxism than our poli sci department (than all other departments in my opinion and in my university) and mostly only the history, sociology, and anthropology departments acknowledge that Marx made contributions to the field...

Personally, if I had a full-ride scholarship and can go anywhere I want I would probably chose New School (in NYC) or maybe Brown or Sarah Lawrence.

[MilitantWorker]

UC-Berkeley, Rutgers, or CUNY in my opinion

[GPDP]

I would recommend my uni, but we sadly do not have a Master's program, mostly because our pol sci program is too progressive for the knucklehead administration.

[Prometheus Unbound]

I really appreciate all the suggestions. I have a deadline to meet; four days from now, to be exact. If you have more suggestions, keep 'em coming.

I have to give names of six universities for them to consider. I'll end up going to one of them. I don't know much about US campuses, so I'll need all the help I can get.

Nothing's wrong with anthropology. It's just that I'm chiefly interested in political science (and preferably international relations). Who in Duke do you think I should consider?

I wouldn't know which ones these might be, though. Can you mention a couple?

I understand where you're coming from, but as I mentioned about, I'm particularly interested in political science. Btw, this is exactly what I just got: a full-ride scholarship. I'm already considering the suggestions people mentioned here

[Proletarian Ultra]

The New School's polisci department has a picture of Lenin on the front page. Just sayin'.

[Cooler Reds Will Prevail]

Bill Martin (http://www.khukuritheory.net/wp-content/uploads/bill_martin_into_the_wild.pdf) at DePaul University (Philosophy Department)

[DavidX]

I would really like to second Minqi Li and the Economics Department of Utah

Prof Al Cambell
Prof Ehrbar

It is a really strong economics department and most if not all of the professors have a left if not strongly radical orientation.

I may be a bit late but I would recommend you look into it.
