Seminars

“American Conservatism Considered (& Reconsidered)”

The story of American conservatism is actually a bunch of stories, all based on how a political and cultural philosophy dating back centuries was amalgamated with existing American political norms and beliefs to create a new guiding understanding of how American politics and American people could or should work. What is the role of government? Who gets to decide? What do voters want – and should they get it? In this seminar, students will join Jane Coaston, senior politics reporter at Vox with a focus on conservatism, on a journey through American conservatism to ask the big questions: what is the most powerful political movement in America based on, and why?
