The research objectives of this article are to analyse one form of international philanthropy undertaken by two American private foundations: the Rockefeller and the Ford foundations. It poses questions about the possible impact the exchange programs directed to Poland in the early Cold War period had upon the opening of research opportunities to catch up with peers in the West. The article covers the time span between the first visit of the Rockefeller Foundation representatives and the year when both temporarily withdrew or suspended their extensive programs. The method of critically analysing archival documents of both foundations made it possible to explore the circumstances of their engagement, candidate selection procedures, and the different approaches to achieving set goals. It reveals that the Rockefeller Foundation focused on scientific results, leading to the ‘cross-fertilization’ of ideas, network creation, and the opening up opportunities, while the Ford Foundation aimed at long-term cultural diplomacy, impacting upon groups of ‘friendly’ recipients. The article explores several case studies of Polish grantees, showing the foundations’ non-discriminatory practices based on merit and the role these grantees might have exercised in the development of science, strengthening the free world, and promoting international understanding.

This paper investigates the similarities and differences between Eötvös József Collegium in Hungary and Hasanoğlan Higher Village Institute in Turkey, two distinct higher educational institutions founded at different times yet sharing analogous objectives. Both of them emerged in developing nations striving to advance and refine their educational systems. Utilizing historical inquiry and qualitative research methodologies, the study scrutinizes the social, economic, and cultural circumstances surrounding the establishments' inception, highlighting their shared attributes and divergences. Although employing varying strategies, both higher educational institutions provided higher education, admitted students nationwide, and experienced a degree of institutional and educational autonomy. The paper contends that these higher educational institutions were ahead of their time, fostering a distinguished cohort of educators and scholars, thereby significantly impacting the modernization and professionalization of their respective countries' educational systems. In summary, this research offers valuable perspectives on the historical and societal contexts shaping the foundation and accomplishments of these two exceptional higher educational institutions.

Policy Paper

Orzala Nemat

The systematic oppression of women by the Taliban over the last two years remains a hot topic in both domestic and international debates this week as the world commemorates the second anniversary of the Taliban's return to power in Afghanistan. In general, the Taliban leadership hasn't given a clear justification for their systematic gender discrimination. With their steadfast opposition to girls' education and women's work, they are losing respect among Afghans and in the Islamic world. The deconstruction of the female educational system, efforts to radicalise the curricula for both boys' and girls' schools in the future, and discussions about how women will have few options for higher education in the future are all concerning and require us to think about global solutions and local actions with tangible results. This Policy Paper will aim to present some immediate actions to address this crisis.

UB Philosophy, Politics and Economics program faculty awarded $2.5 million to study rights, equality and freedom

‘The importance of this work is difficult to overstate,’ Ryan Muldoon says of the Templeton-funded project

By Bert Gambini

Release Date: July 17, 2024

BUFFALO, N.Y. – The faculty of the University at Buffalo’s Philosophy, Politics and Economics (PPE) program has received a $2.5 million grant from the John Templeton Foundation for an innovative project that will demonstrate how diversity, disagreement and dynamism are crucial resources for fueling an open society, not problems to be managed.

The multimethod project will combine lab experiments, computer simulations, game-theory modeling and surveys with hands-on community work to better understand how these key concepts shape outcomes in real institutions in Buffalo, the Rust Belt, and the country at large.

Over a three-year grant period, the study will develop a systematic understanding of this open, dynamic framework and reveal mechanisms that liberal institutions use to harness diversity in ways that provide both scholarly impact and insights for local policy improvements.

Ryan Muldoon, PhD, a UB professor of philosophy who directs the university’s PPE program, is the grant’s principal investigator. He says the importance of this work is difficult to overstate.

“Liberalism is under attack in academic circles and in our politics,” he says. “We aim to provide liberalism with a more secure foundation that reveals how diversity, disagreement and dynamism are responsible for its success.”

Liberalism is a political philosophy focused on individual rights, political equality, freedom and consent of the governed.

Many contemporary liberal theorists focus on the idea of liberalism as an equilibrium of institutions, beliefs and values. But liberal rights, like free speech and free assembly, upend beliefs, institutions, and associational arrangements because they present new ideas and discoveries. 

“That dynamism is the core of liberalism,” says Muldoon. “The reason why liberalism is better than its global competitors, such as authoritarianism or different forms of perfectionism, is because it harnesses disagreements and diversity and channels it into productive outcomes.”

Many political theorists discuss liberalism in terms of the tools to manage problems that arise from diversity, according to Muldoon.

“Approaching liberalism like that is backwards,” he says. “Liberalism is enabled by diversity, and inclusion is the aspect of liberalism that keeps us from spinning off into polarization. So, ensuring our institutions are inclusive let us realize these benefits together, rather than splitting off from each other.”

Muldoon says the project is made possible by UB’s world-class group of PPE-oriented researchers. The grant will also fund a graduate student, three postdoctoral researchers and a lab manager.

“This will supercharge our research capacities,” he says. “Not only that, but it will help us grow PPE as a field, and deepen our engagement with the community.”

The grant’s co-principal investigators include fellow UB faculty members Justin Bruner, PhD, associate professor of philosophy; David Emmanuel Gray, PhD, associate teaching professor of philosophy; Jacob Neiheisel, PhD, associate professor of political science; Alexandra Oprea, PhD, assistant professor of philosophy; Alexander Schaefer, PhD, assistant professor of philosophy; and Erik Kimbrough, PhD, Chapman University professor of political economy and philosophy.
