Paul Buhle (1944- ) is a scholar of radicalism in the United States and the Caribbean, with particular emphasis on its cultural manifestations, and of the Immigrant Left. Buhle was born in Urbana, Illinois, attended the University of Illinois (B.A., 1966), the University of Connecticut (M.A., 1967), and the University of Wisconsin - Madison (Ph.D., 1975). Buhle taught at the Cambridge-Godard School (1971–1973), the Rhode Island School of Design, and Brown University (1995-), where he is currently Faculty Emeritus.

Buhle was an active participant in the New Left of the 1960s and 1970s. He was a spokesperson for the University of Illinois’ chapter of Students for a Democratic Society’s (SDS) antiwar and civil rights activities. Buhle was the founding editor, along with Mary Jo Buhle, of the journal Radical America (1967–1999), which began as an unofficial organ of SDS and focused on issues such as civil rights, women’s liberation, working class radicalism, and the anti-war movement. During the 1970s the journal began to shift its focus toward the issues and priorities of the New Left, as opposed to the more traditional values of the “Old Left.” Buhle also founded Cultural Correspondence (1977–1983), a popular culture studies journal. For a brief period Buhle was a member of the Socialist Labor Party. In 2006 and 2007, he became one of the founding figures of the new Students for a Democratic Society, and more recently a leader of the Movement for a Democratic Society.
