Current Activities

Hudson Valley One covered my candidacy in the Town of Olive town supervisor race here. Although I lost to my able opponent, Jim Sofranko, I continue to work on important projects and to teach full-time.  There may be a series of law suits at CUNY concerning issues that I, as a named plaintiff, cannot publicly discuss.  As well, I am working on a large-scale research project with the Marnell brothers, Bob, Matt, and Mark.  

The Washington Post recently published Niall Ferguson's op-ed about the founding of Austin University, a university devoted to academic freedom. Professor Ferguson's op-ed spends a paragraph on my research on political affiliation of university professors.  Last February the Atlanta Journal-Constitution quoted me on outdoor work, and in August WalletHub quoted me on CLUE reports. 

Earlier this year Studies in Higher Education, the education journal that is highest ranked by the Australian Business Deans Council, the journal ranking  most important to business schools globally, published Sean Stevens's and my piece "Partisan Registration of Faculty in Flagship Colleges." Langbert and Stevens's "Partisan Registration and Contributions in Flagship Colleges," published in 2020, is still available on the National Association of Scholars' blog.

I will continue to teach full-time for the next few years and continue to live in the Catskill Mountains near Phoenicia, Woodstock, Liberty, and Kingston. I am traveling to Curacao in the first half of January.  If you need to reach me, please use my home email address mlangbert@hvc.rr.com. No hate mail, please.
