Harriet Zuckerman
Harriet Zuckerman (born July 19, 1937) is an American sociologist who specializes in the sociology of science.
She is Senior Vice President of the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation and professor emerita of Columbia University.
Life
Harriet Zuckerman received her A.B. degree from Vassar College and Ph.D. from Columbia University. She was professor of sociology at Columbia and chaired the department in 1978–1982.
In 1991, she joined the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, of which she is the Senior Vice President.
Zuckerman's research has focused on the social organization of science and scholarship. She is the author of the 1979 book, Scientific Elite: Nobel Laureates in the United States. This book, in addition to being a study of a scientific elite, constitutes a fascinating introduction to the phenomenon of multiple discovery, particularly in science and technology. Its findings, particularly in relation to "accumulation of advantage", are relevant to the question of eminence, exceptional achievement, and greatness.

"Can you explain The Matthew Effect"
What is the Matthew Effect? Have you heard the phrase the rich get richer and the poor get poorer? That’s the Mathew Effect. It describes accumulated advantage and it suggests that people who start from a place of advantage, like intelligence, fame, wealth, etc, will have the opportunity to accrue more of that advantage compared to others who didn't start with those advantages. The term was devised by Dr. RobertMerton in 1968. He was a professor of sociology at Columbia University, and he and his wife, Harriet Zuckerman, were analyzing interviews of Nobel prizewinners. They noticed that the interviewees repeatedly mentioned already well-known scientists who had contributed to their work but similar contributions by less-known scientists tended to little or no recognition from the Nobel pri...

What is the Matthew Effect? Have you heard the phrase the rich get richer and the poor get poorer? That’s the Mathew Effect. It describes accumulated advantage and it suggests that people who start from a place of advantage, like intelligence, fame, wealth, etc, will have the opportunity to accrue more of that advantage compared to others who didn't start with those advantages. The term was devised by Dr. RobertMerton in 1968. He was a professor of sociology at Columbia University, and he and his wife, Harriet Zuckerman, were analyzing interviews of Nobel prizewinners. They noticed that the interviewees repeatedly mentioned already well-known scientists who had contributed to their work but similar contributions by less-known scientists tended to little or no recognition from the Nobel prizewinners. Another Mathew Effect was born. It’s named after a bible verse in the gospel of Matthew, chapter 25 verse 29, I don’t know the quote but it basically says that if you have lots of stuff you’ll be given more, if you have no stuff you won’t be given anything

November 8, 2013 | 20th Anniversary Symposium—Exhibitions Research Teaching: The Bard Graduate Center at Twenty
Marking its twentieth birthday, this symposium examines the elements of practice and theory that have come to define the Bard Graduate Center. An array of speakers from across the national, disciplinary, and institutional spectrum put the achievements of the past twenty years in context, and also outlined paths into the future. The morning session concentrated on issues relevant to the future of exhibitions, examining display and interpretation, publishing and the digital challenge, and how philosophy might inform museum practice. The afternoon focused on the role of the research institute, ways of defining good research, research as a way of life, and the necessity of research for teaching.

James Shulman is vice president and chief operating officer of the American Council of Learned Societies and a former senior fellow at the Mellon Foundation. In his book The Synthetic University: How Higher Education Can Benefit from Shared Solutions and Save Itself, he argues that the spiraling cost of tuition must be contained, and that colleges and universities can address it by partnering with mission-driven, market-supported organizations.
Shulman will be interviewed by Mitchell Stevens, professor at Stanford Graduate School of Education.
This is the first event in the 2024 Academic Innovation for the Public Good book series, co-organized by Stanford Digital Education and Trinity College. Program partners include the Badavas Center for Innovation in Teaching and Learning (Bentley University); Brown University School of Professional Studies; Dartmouth College; Harvard University; Mount Holyoke College; Notre Dame Learning (University of Notre Dame); Penn’s Center for Excellence in Teaching, Learning, and Innovation; and University of Michigan Center for Academic Innovation.

What is the Matthew Effect? Have you heard the phrase the rich get richer and the poor get poorer? That’s the Mathew Effect. It describes accumulated advantage and it suggests that people who start from a place of advantage, like intelligence, fame, wealth, etc, will have the opportunity to accrue more of that advantage compared to others who didn't start with those advantages. The term was devised by Dr. RobertMerton in 1968. He was a professor of sociology at Columbia University, and he and his wife, Harriet Zuckerman, were analyzing interviews of Nobel prizewinners. They noticed that the interviewees repeatedly mentioned already well-known scientists who had contributed to their work but similar contributions by less-known scientists tended to little or no recognition from the Nobel prizewinners. Another Mathew Effect was born. It’s named after a bible verse in the gospel of Matthew, chapter 25 verse 29, I don’t know the quote but it basically says that if you have lots of stuff you’ll be given more, if you have no stuff you won’t be given anything

November 8, 2013 | 20th Anniversary Symposium—Exhibitions Research Teaching: The Bard Graduate Center at Twenty
Marking its twentieth birthday, this symposium examines the elements of practice and theory that have come to define the Bard Graduate Center. An array of speakers from across the national, disciplinary, and institutional spectrum put the achievements of the past twenty years in context, and also outlined paths into the future. The morning session concentrated on issues relevant to the future of exhibitions, examining display and interpretation, publishing and the digital challenge, and how philosophy might inform museum practice. The afternoon focused on the role of the research institute, ways of defining good research, research as a way of life, and the necessity of research for teaching.

Harriet Zuckerman
Harriet Zuckerman (born July 19, 1937) is an American sociologist who specializes in the sociology of science.
She is Senior Vice President of the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation and professor emerita of Columbia University.
Life
Harriet Zuckerman received her A.B. degree from Vassar College and Ph.D. from Columbia University. She was professor of sociology at Columbia and chaired the department in 1978–1982.
In 1991, she joined the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, of which she is the Senior Vice President.
Zuckerman's research has focused on the social organization of science and scholarship. She is the author of the 1979 book, Scientific Elite: Nobel Laureates in the United States. This book, in addition to being a study of a scientific elite, constitutes a fascinating introduction to the phenomenon of multiple discovery, particularly in science and technology. Its findings, particularly in relation to "accumulation of advantage", are relevant to the question of eminence, exceptional achievement, and greatness.
