To apply, submit to Professor Prud’homme at [email protected] (1) a brief résumé and (2) a short 2-paragraph essay on the importance of studying the American Founding. Do you want to understand where our freedoms come from? To really know this, you need to know the American political tradition, but unless you’re one of a lucky few students today, you’re probably not getting a complete picture at your school. The key problem is which ideas and thinkers your professors teach you—and which ones they don’t teach you. But you can avoid all these problems—and develop a rich understanding of freedom—in this immersive online summer course. The Center for the American Way of Life, along with the Intercollegiate Studies Institute has partnered with the Institute for Religion, Politics, and Culture at Washington College to present Freedom in American Political Life. This credit-bearing political-science course transfers 4 credits to colleges and universities nationwide. So you’re getting more than a semester’s worth of credit in under a month! This online course runs from May 30 - June 23, from 9:00-11:45 a.m. Monday through Friday (with occasional Fridays off). The course is open to college students and select advanced high school students. You will encounter the great thinkers in the American political tradition. The course will take you on an in-depth exploration of: religious freedom and economic freedom the eradication of slavery the victory over fascism and Soviet communism challenges facing freedom in the United States today As you immerse yourself in the study of American freedom, you will encounter the give and take of opposing arguments. As in any pursuit of truth, you will need to learn to listen sympathetically to positions with which you may at times disagree—perhaps even deeply disagree. Your guide to this compelling subject matter is Professor Joseph Prud’homme, the Burton Family Chair in Religion, Politics, and Culture at Washington College (PhD, Princeton University).
