Talk:Stanley Aronowitz

Biography
Stanley has a very interesting and long biography that includes his involvement in everything from the labor movement in its heyday, to helping to organize the March on Washington, to being involved in the founding of Social Text, to a long tenure as a public intellectual. Yet, curiously, little of this biographical information is featured here, and the little that is here is autobiographical. This section should be filled out more to do justice to Stanley's work.

A recent talk was given about Stanley at the Graduate Center that might be a good source of information for this: https://www.versobooks.com/blogs/3500-belonging-on-the-left-an-appreciation-of-stanley-aronowitz Joeyvandernaald (talk) 15:56, 6 July 2018 (UTC)

What is the meaning of the statement "He is no academician" on this page? Sounds a bit insulting. My Webster's defines academician as "1. a member of an association or institution for the advancement of arts, sciences, or letters. 2. A follower or promoter of the traditional trends in philosophy, art or literature."

I know Prof. Aronowitz. There can be no dispute that this Distinguished Professor at CUNY, an extraordinarily knowledgeable individual, qualifies as an "academician" according to the first definition (the definition with which I am most familiar). With regard to the second, far less common definition, one could argue that Prof. Aronowitz is not a promoter of "traditional" trends. I would not make such an argument. Prof. Aronowitz appears to me to be a rather vigorous promoter of the tradition of critical thought — a tradition going back to Socrates and beyond. 24.215.200.86 22:13, 6 February 2006 (UTC)


 * Maybe the writer meant that he's not an ivory-tower academician, out of touch with the real world? Anyway, you're right, it's not great as it stands. I'll take it out, but you know, you're free to edit the article (or almost any other) yourself too. It sounds like you have some interesting info to add!

Aronowitz is a fascinating and very pleasant guy, and doubtless learned, but sadly, he is probably most famous for the mid-1990s episode in which his academic journal became the victim of a hoax. I think this ought to be respectfully noted on his Wikipedia page. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.11.162.168 (talk) 14:45, 7 December 2007 (UTC)
