Historian Emily J. Levine and sociologist Mit chell L. Stevens\, both faculty members of the Stanford Graduate School of Education\, will offer an account of how this transformation occurred. In tegrating recent theoretical developments in political history with origin al research in the Stanford University Archives\, they will depict how amb itious alumni and faculty moved back and forth between Washington and Palo Alto\, building careers that leveraged the dual affordances of academic a nd government organizations. In the process these alumni and faculty contr ibuted to the development of a hybrid domain of civic action that we now c all public service\, and moved Stanford closer to the political centers of power.
