Resident Fellows

Gareth Stedman Jones || Spring 2005

Gareth Stedman Jones is one of Europe’s leading intellectuals. He first rose to prominence as a member of the editorial board for Britain’s New Left Review during the late 1960s and early ’70s while he was still a graduate student. Throughout the 1970s and ’80s he was a key conduit for the transmission of new theoretical perspectives in Britain, perspectives that he used not only to provide trenchant and hugely influential analyses of &ldquot;why the Labor Party is in a mess?” but to develop the new cultural history in Britain. Jones is Chair of History and Political Science at King’s College, Cambridge. His visit was sponsored by the Townsend Center, the History Department, and the Center for British Studies.
