The Academic Programs team spent close to a week in San Diego in mid-January hosting our inaugural Winter Honors Program as well as our annual Faculty Summit. We had 70+ students and 60+ faculty in attendance.
The theme for WHP was “America in 2025 and Beyond” and featured classes on the future of conservatism (taught by Matt Continetti), the future of work (taught by Brent Orrell), the future of globalization (taught by Stan Veuger), and the future of pluralism (taught by David French). Follow-up sessions will take place online throughout the rest of January to early February.
The Faculty Summit addressed topics such as the economic and legal context of higher education, ideological diversity on campus, and academic freedom. Speakers included Jean Twenge, Musa al-Gharbi, Jon Shields, Elizabeth Corey, Beth Akers, Preston Cooper, John Yoo, Carole Hooven, and Robert George.
Overall, a very successful week for AEI’s Academic Programs.
