Currently Harvard University's William R. Kenen, Jr. Professor of Government, Harvey C. Mansfield, Jr. has taught at Harvard since 1962. He is most notable for his conservative position on political issues, unusual enough in top political science departments to make him one of the most influential figures in conservative academia. Mansfield has been the recipient of fellowships from the Guggenheim, the National Endowment for the Humanities and the National Humanities Center. He was awarded the National Humanities Medal in 2004 and in 2007 he delivered the Jefferson Lecture. Mansfield is the author, editor or translator of fifteen books. He has translated or co-translated the work of major political philosophers, including Machiavelli's The Prince (1988), and Alexis de Tocqueville's Democracy in America (2000), with Delba Winthrop, his late wife. His 2001 book, A Student's Guide to Political Philosophy, has become a central tome in any political science class; his 2006 book, Manliness, garnered critical notoriety for its lamentation of the wane of 'manliness' in modern Western society that it blames partially on feminist philosophers who, he claims, stole their ideas from men. Mansfield himself received both his AB and his PhD from Harvard, in 1953 and 1961, respectively. From 1987-1989 he was a member of the USIA's Board of Foreign Scholarships; from 1993-1994 he was a member of the National Council on the Humanities. Mansfield won the 1993 Joseph R. Levenson Teaching Award and the 2002 Sidney Hook Memorial Award.
