SUMMARY:Education Book Webinar: On America: How to Understand the Legacy of 1776
DESCRIPTION:On July 22\, join editor Michael Lucchese for a discussion of On America: How to Understand the Legacy of 1776\, a new collection of essays by Russell Kirk. \nAs America marks the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence\, debates over the nation’s founding\, principles\, and identity persist. Was the American Founding a radical break from the past—or the preservation of a rich constitutional and moral tradition? \nDrawing from Kirk’s writings on the Founding\, American statesmanship\, and our literary heritage\, Lucchese will explore why one of the twentieth century’s foremost conservative thinkers believed that the United States is more than an “experiment”—it is the product of centuries of Western civilization and ordered liberty. \nJoin us for a thoughtful conversation about the enduring legacy of 1776\, what it means to be an American\, and why Kirk’s ideas remain relevant today. \n   \nMichael Lucchese is the founder and CEO of Pipe Creek Consulting\, a communications firm based in Washington\, D.C. He is also an associate editor of Law & Liberty and a contributing editor to Providence. He has been elected to membership in the Academy of Philosophy and Letters\, the Ciceronian Society\, and the Philadelphia Society\, and serves on the board of the Institute for Christianity and Common Life\, which publishes Mere Orthodoxy. Previously\, he was a Krauthammer Fellow with the Tikvah Fund\, a visiting scholar at Liberty Fund\, and an aide to U.S. Senator Ben Sasse. His writing on national security\, the conservative movement\, and the American Founding has been published widely at outlets such as the Wall Street Journal\, the Washington Post\, National Review\, and the Washington Examiner. He graduated from Hillsdale College with a B.A. in American Studies\, and is an alumnus of the Hudson Institute Political Studies Program.

SUMMARY:Education Book Webinar: Lawless: The Miseducation of America's Elites
DESCRIPTION:On March 25\, join constitutional scholar Ilya Shapiro for a live discussion of his book Lawless: The Miseducation of America’s Elites. \nElite law schools once produced leaders like Franklin Delano Roosevelt and Ruth Bader Ginsburg. Today\, they’re making headlines for campus disruptions at Columbia University\, free speech controversies at Stanford Law School\, and judicial hiring boycotts involving Yale Law School. \nWhat happened—and what does it mean for the future of the rule of law? \nDrawing on his own experience at Georgetown University Law Center\, Shapiro examines how ideological conformity and institutional weakness are reshaping legal education—and the next generation of American leadership. \nIf you care about free speech\, legal rigor\, and the health of our constitutional system\, don’t miss this timely conversation. \nRegister now and be part of the debate.

SUMMARY:Webinar: Charting a Better Collegiate & Workforce Education Course
DESCRIPTION:What will the future of online education look like? \nOn January 8\, visiting fellow for higher education reform at The Heritage Foundation Adam Kissel joins Martin Center president Jenna Robinson to discuss the implications of the Martin Center’s most recent policy brief: “Charting a Better Collegiate & Workforce Education Course: Lessons from North Carolina’s Project Kitty Hawk & Public-Private Partnerships.” \n \nThis policy brief analyzes North Carolina’s experience launching Project Kitty Hawk (PKH)\, a nonprofit project of the UNC System that works with North Carolina’s public universities to “build pathways for adult learners to earn high-quality\, workforce-aligned degrees and credentials from UNC System institutions.” \nPKH’s services mirror those provided by private online program managers. Its “Flight Path” programs include what PKH calls full-service delivery: “Comprehensive\, end-to-end support in online program design\, launch\, and management – built specifically for adult learners\, from first click to graduation.” It also offers targeted services\, which it describes as “Unbundled support in key service areas like marketing\, admissions\, instructional design\, and student success.” Such services are often provided to universities via partnerships with private online program managers. \nSo far\, Project Kitty Hawk’s growth has been slower than anticipated. As of fall 2025\, PKH has partnered with three universities to offer 14 programs. Since its inception\, it has served roughly 5\,100 students through its “Re-Enrollment” and “Flight Path” programs. \nThere have been other road bumps along the way as well\, including both regulatory and institutional barriers. The high start-up cost and the challenges that Project Kitty Hawk has faced highlight the limitations of government-run online education initiatives and underscore the benefits of public-private partnerships.

SUMMARY:Education Book Webinar: "Slacking: A Guide to Ivy League Miseducation"
DESCRIPTION:Join authors Adam Kissel\, Rachel Alexander Cambre\, and Madison Marino Doan for a thought-provoking virtual discussion of their new book\, Slacking: A Guide to Ivy League Miseducation. \n \nAbout the Book: \nIt is still possible to earn a great education at Princeton\, Harvard\, Yale\, Penn\, Columbia\, Brown\, Cornell\, or Dartmouth\, but doing so requires prudence and persistence. In Slacking\, Adam Kissel\, Rachel Alexander Cambre\, and Madison Marino Doan dedicate one chapter to each Ivy League college\, providing specific information about the coursework that serious students should pursue to extract a real education from these decaying institutions. \nEvery chapter concludes with two course lists\, both of which meet the school’s general education requirements. One displays the worst collection of courses that an inveterate “slacker” could take to skate through the requirements. The other lists the best choice of courses a dedicated striver could take to acquire a well rounded\, content-rich liberal education. \nThe result is both a practical guide for students seeking real intellectual formation and a broader call for curricular reform at America’s leading institutions. \n\n\n\nAbout the Authors: \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAdam Kissel is a visiting fellow for higher education reform in the Center for Education Policy at The Heritage Foundation.\n\nRachel Alexander Cambre teaches for Belmont Abbey College’s new Master of Arts in Classical and Liberal Education program.\n\nMadison Marino Doan is a senior research associate in the Center for Education Policy at The Heritage Foundation.

SUMMARY:Education Book Webinar: Renewing the Marketplace of Ideas on Elite University Campuses
DESCRIPTION:In this free Education Book Webinar\, Duke University Professor Don Taylor will discuss his forthcoming book\, Renewing the Marketplace of Ideas on Elite University Campuses. Webinar attendees will have a chance to be part of the writing process by giving Professor Taylor feedback and asking questions to help him hone his ideas before the book is fully written! \nBook Synopsis: This book will describe how the marketplace of ideas on elite college campuses can be improved using existing resources. In doing so\, it will move beyond only describing problems in how students interact\, debate and express themselves on campus by providing a plausible plan to make things better. The book will focus on the undergraduate student body at elite universities\, the faculty who teach them\, and the importance of the campus marketplace of ideas both to student education (private good) and society as a whole (public good). The book will argue that faculty hired with academic freedom and intellectual flexibility is the only comparative advantage of the modern University over a think tank in the production of knowledge\, and the faculty must reassert intellectual leadership on campus if the marketplace of ideas is to be its most vibrant\, and productive. \n \nAbout the Author: Donald H. Taylor\, Jr. Ph.D.\, M.P.A. University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill (’90; ’92; ’95). Professor of Public Policy in the Duke Sanford School of Public Policy\, Duke University.

SUMMARY:Should You Go To Grad School? A Conversation About Higher Education
DESCRIPTION:Join America’s Future and Jenna Robinson of the James G. Martin Center for a conversation about the future of higher education. \nAccording to a recent report by the Council of Graduate Schools\, the number of students enrolling in graduate school is steadily declining.

SUMMARY:Hate Speech and Academic Freedom: An Education Book Webinar with Cary Nelson
DESCRIPTION:On Wednesday\, November 20th\, the Martin Center welcomes Cary Nelson for a discussion of his latest book\, Hate Speech and Academic Freedom. \nAbout the book: \nCompleted shortly before Hamas carried out its barbaric October massacre\, Hate Speech and Academic Freedom takes up issues that have consequently gained new urgency in the academy worldwide. It is the first book to ask what impact antisemitism has had on the fundamental principles the academy relies on for its identity—academic freedom\, free speech rights\, standards for hiring or firing faculty members and administrators\, and the ethics of academic conduct and debate. \nAntisemitic hatred is spreading at a fever pitch. What steps can counter it? What damage to students is done when departments embrace anti-Zionism? Should faculty members face consequences for promoting antisemitism on social media? Should universities make a new push to adopt the IHRA Definition of Antisemitism? \n \nAbout the author: \nCary Nelson is a Professor Emeritus of English at the University of Illinos at Urbana-Champaign\, where he has taught since 1970. Nelson has authored over 30 books and 300 essays. Nelson served as president of the American Association of University Professors from 2006 to 2012. Nelson received his BA from Antioch College in 1967 and PhD from the University of Rochester in 1970. \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n

SUMMARY:Recentering Our Universities: A Webinar on the General Education Act
DESCRIPTION:Restoring a common civic education to the center of American public university education through new legislation.\nIn the past 60 years\, American universities abandoned traditional general education requirements that gave students shared knowledge of the history\, ideals\, and institutions of America and Western Civilization\, as well as a proper introduction to science\, mathematics\, and writing composition. Our college graduates all too frequently have learned to hate America from ignorance\, but lack the knowledge they need to succeed in their careers or act as informed citizens. The American public rightly has lost its confidence in higher education and its ability to train tomorrow’s teachers\, physicians\, and leaders. \nThe General Education Act provides a solution. \nThe National Association of Scholars (NAS)\, the James G. Martin Center for Academic Renewal\, and the Ethics & Public Policy Center (EPPC) have published the new model General Education Act (GEA). The GEA reforms and replaces the failed system of cafeteria-style distribution requirements geared to faculty research specialties\, rather than to the true requisites of liberal education. The Act’s authors—Stanley Kurtz of EPPC\, David Randall of NAS\, and Jenna Robinson of the Martin Center—will discuss why the GEA is necessary\, what it aims to achieve\, and why it is a practical means to achieve its goal. \nJoin the National Association of Scholars on Thursday\, November 16\, at 2 pm ET\, to learn more about the GEA and how it will restore a common civic education to the center of American public university education. \n \nThis event will feature Stanley Kurtz\, Senior Fellow at EPPC; David Randall\, Director of Research at NAS; Jenna Robinson\, President of the James G. Martin Center for Academic Renewal; and Shannon Watkins\, Research Associate at the James G. Martin Center for Academic Renewal.

SUMMARY:Classified: The Untold Story of Racial Classification in America
DESCRIPTION:“David E. Bernstein’s excellent book—Classified: The Untold Story of Racial Classification in America—exposes the full extent of what we all should have known: When governments dispense benefits based on race and ethnicity\, the conflict over which groups should receive those benefits and which individuals qualify as members of those groups will be never-ending.” – Gail Heriot\, Professor of Law\, University of San Diego\, and Member\, U.S. Commission on Civil Rights \n“Perhaps the most consequential American book of 2022.” – George F. Will \nJoin the Martin Center for a webinar with David E. Bernstein\, professor of law at the Antonin Scalia Law School and executive director at the Liberty & Law Center! Professor Bernstein will discuss his latest book\, Classified: The Untold Story of Racial Classification in America\, on Thursday\, April 27th\, 2:30-3:30pm ET. \n \n  \n  \nDavid E. Bernstein holds a University Professorship chair at the Antonin Scalia Law School\, George Mason University\, where he has been teaching since 1995. He has also been a visiting professor at the University of Michigan\, Georgetown University\, William & Mary\, Brooklyn Law School\, and the University of Turin. \nBernstein often challenges the conventional wisdom with prodigious research and sharp\, original analysis. His book Rehabilitating Lochner was praised across the political spectrum as “intellectual history in its highest form\,” a “fresh perspective and a cogent analysis\,” “delightful and informative\,” “sharp and iconoclastic\,” “well-written and destined to be influential\,” and “a terrific work of historical revisionism.” \nOf his most recent work\, Classified: The Untold Story of Racial Classification in America\, columnist George F. Will said\, “The nation urgently needs what David E. Bernstein here provides: a lucid explanation of the long and tangled intersection of racial classifications and the law. With the intellectual boldness and clarity that he brought to Rehabilitating Lochner\, he points to a path from today’s tensions to a less angry\, more sophisticated future.” \nProfessor Bernstein blogs at the Volokh Conspiracy and at Instapundit.com. Professor Bernstein is a graduate of the Yale Law School\, where he was senior editor of the Yale Law Journal and a John M. Olin Fellow in Law\, Economics\, and Public Policy.
