Gareth Stedman Jones is Chair of History and Political Science at King’s College, Cambridge. He first rose to prominence as a member of the editorial board for Britain’s New Left Review during the late 1960s and early 1970s, while he was still a graduate student. Throughout the 1970s and 1980s Stedman Jones was a key conduit for the transmission of new theoretical perspectives and the development of a new cultural history in Britain. He was hosted by the Department of History and the Center for British Studies while at Berkeley in April 2005. During that time, he led student workshops entitled “Hegel and the Idea of Civil Society;” “Millennium and Enlightenment: Robert Owen and the Second Coming of the Truth;” and “National Bankruptcy and Social Revolution: European Observers on Britain, 1789-1848.”
