UNESCO – framework for the global academy

United Nations Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization (Paris, 1946) International Council of Scientific Unions (Natural Science) International Social Science Council (Social Science) International Council for Philosophy and Humanistic Studies (Humanities) plus sections for » Education » Communications » Culture Founding director: Julian Huxley (biology, UK, ) Robust structure of UNESCO since 1951

Julian Huxley’s vision for UNESCO “The general philosophy of Unesco should, it seems, be a scientific world humanism, global in extent and evolutionary in background.” SOCIAL SCIENCE: “If Unesco is to have a real social policy, it … must also face up to particular problems which press on the modern world.” HUMANITIES: “Unesco cannot be neutral in the face of competing values.”

UNESCO – framework for the global academy UNESCO has functioned admirably as the global academic coordinating body, far exceeding its predecessors. But UNESCO has not kept up with: Interdisciplinary connections Area-studies scholarship Global studies beginnings Linkages across the three Councils

UNESCO – framework for the global academy Proposed research project: a fuller history of international academic organizations, their interplay with each other and with national organizations, and their relationship with the creation of scientific knowledge. Proposed organizational project: consultation with UNESCO on tensions and weaknesses in its structure, and discussion of possible revision and updates.

The Broader Context: Institutions for producing, conserving, & conveying knowledge Libraries Archives Universities Research institutes – Academies – Academic congresses – Disciplinary associations Publishing houses Academic journals

Global organization of historical studies History relies primarily on independent work of individual scholars Scholars communicate especially through regional, national and sub-disciplinary organizations Global organization of historians exists, but is biased toward study of European history in recent times An opening now exists for global organization and collaboration of world historians
