    Biography

    Michael Paul Rogin was Robson Professor of Political Science at the University of California, Berkeley. He as born in Mt. Kisco, New York in 1937, recieved his BA from Harvard (1958), and his MA and Ph.D. from the University of Chicago (1959-1962). Rogin spent a year at Makerere University in Uganda, then taught Political Science at UC Berkeley from 1963 until his death in 2001. Rogin belonged to the "Berkeley school" of political theory, and his work is notable for its critique of American imperialism, and its interdisciplinarity. In addition to political science, Rogin taught courses in the humanities and social sciences, including ones on film, Marxism, race and racism, and feminism. He also taught classes in English, comparative literature, history, American studies, sociology, and ethnic studies. Rogin received the Award for Distinguished Teaching and, in 1996, was among the first group at Berkeley to be honored with a Chancellor's Professorship. Rogin served on the editorial committee of UC Press for several decades and was a regular contributor to the London Review of Books. Rogin died in Paris in 2001; Ann Banfield, a Professor in the UC Berkeley English Department, was his companion at the time of his death.

    Content Description

    This collection documents the writings and teaching career of University of California, Berkeley political scientist Michael Rogin. The bulk of the collection contains drafts of articles, reviews, and books; reprints; research files (with photograps and slides); and teaching materials. There is a small amount of correspondence and administrative material.
    A colleague of Rogin's put post-it notes identifying materials on many folders. These notes - and original folder titles - were retained. Efforts were made to distinguish between research notes and notes for classes, but there is likely significant overlap between the two. There is a small amount of material in French. The collection is divided into five series: Correspondence; Writings; Research Files; Course Materials; and Departmental and University of California, Berkeley Administrative Records.
