Working in the emerging field of Critical University Studies, Lybeck's work draws on processual and civic approaches to social knowledge and practices to make new connections between the disciplines of sociology and education. His doctoral research at Cambridge explored the history of the social and legal sciences during the late 19th century transfer of university models from Germany to America.
He is currently editor-in-chief of the journal, Civic Sociology, published by University of California Press - www.civicsociology.org
