阿尔文·约翰逊与“流亡大学”的创办

Alvin Johnson and the Establishment of “the University in Exile”

20世纪30至40年代,为对抗纳粹德国的残暴政策和美国社会的冷漠态度,在拯救欧洲知识难民的行动中,美国知识界“新左派”代表人物阿尔文.约翰逊,以他非凡的胆识、乐观主义的精神和顽强的努力,在他领导的纽约“社会研究新学院”内部,创办了一所被称之为“流亡大学”的研究生院,接受了182名来自欧洲各国的著名科学家,从而使这所“流亡大学”成为了美国社会科学“国际化”的突破口和世界上第一个国际性的社会科学研究中心。

From the 1930s to 1940s, to fight against the tyranny of the Nazi Germany and the indifferences of the American society, Alvin Johnson was keen on rescuing the intellectual refugees from Europe, and became the representative figure of the “new left ”in the American intellectual circles. He established the “Graduate Faculty” in “the New School for Social Research” in New York with his great courage and insight, spirit of optimism and hard work. The “Graduate Faculty” was called “the University in Exile”. Under the leadership of Alvin Johnson himself, it received 182 famous scientists and artists from Europe. This was a breakthrough point of the internationalization of American social sciences and the first center of international social sciences research center in the world.
