Abstract

Hungarian-born Karl Mannheim was exiled from Nazi Germany in 1933 and arrived in the UK, with help from the Academic Assistance Council, to be a lecturer at the London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE). He taught at LSE and the University of London until his death in 1947, and is a key figure of classical sociology and founder of the sociology of knowledge. Terhi Rantanen, Professor of Global Media and Communications at LSE, asks why Karl Mannheim was never given a chair at LSE?
