Chad Alan Goldberg is a professor of sociology at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. He is the author of Citizens and Paupers: Relief, Rights, and Race from the Freedmen's Bureau to Workfare and Modernity and the Jews in Western Social Thought.
Goldberg situates the Wisconsin Idea in its historical,
educational, institutional, and political context in ways that
enlighten its original impulses, illuminating its significant
contributions to rural and urban areas and to the very nature of
the University of Wisconsin as a university of the people." -
Michael Apple, University of Wisconsin-Madison
"An important look back at the progressive Wisconsin Idea and a
look forward to its possible renewal. The authors take us through
numerous ideas and practices that came to be known as the Wisconsin
Idea and chart out a civic vision of higher education that is badly
in need of being reinvented today." - Kevin Mattson, Ohio
University
