Le Professeur: From Vichy to Iraq with a widely cultured "citizen of Harvard"
The July issue of Harvard Magazine has a profile of Stanley Hoffmann by Craig Lambert.
Now 78 years old, Hoffmann has been, since 1997, Buttenwieser University Professor; he ranks as one of the world's preeminent authorities on international relations, with specialties in French politics and history and American foreign policy. He has written 18 books and countless articles, including, since 1978, regular essays in the New York Review of Books. Having taught at Harvard since 1955, Hoffmann also founded what is now the University's Gunzburg Center for European Studies (where his recorded voice greets callers) and was among those who created the social-studies concentration in the College. "He probably holds the record for the greatest number of different courses taught in Harvard's Core curriculum," says Bass professor of government Michael Sandel, who has known Hoffmann for more than 30 years, taught a course on globalization with him, and calls him a "towering figure. Stanley has voracious intellectual interests and a range of knowledge of politics, history, and culture that is unrivaled in the academic world, as far as I know."
