The 20th century saw a dramatic shift of the hub of science and social science systems to the USA. This dynamic began to unfold at precisely the same time as the power structure of Central Europe shifted towards dictatorship. This book explores the invention of empirical social research and the contribution of German emigres to its establishment.

How do intellectuals engage with and affect their publics? What challenges face female intellectuals and those speaking from an ethnic, national or class position? This collection responds to these questions by offering an account of the changing role of intellectuals in public life.
