Dear John,
If you’re anything like me, you’re probably feeling a little stir-crazy being stuck at home.
But you probably realize that this time is also an opportunity . . .
. . . a chance to read more . . . to study topics you’ve been meaning to . . . to reconnect with some of your intellectual passions.
And ISI has put together some online resources for you.
So pour some coffee and pull up a chair. Get ready to recapture the ISI experience.
Here are 3 ways to engage seriously with ideas and reconnect with ISI’s community of like-minded peers and mentors:
1. Participate in Online Events
Lots of ISI alumni tell me they miss the ISI conferences they attended as students.
Here’s your chance to get involved again.
We are making many of ISI’s events, once limited to hand-selected student applicants, available to you online, which means you can watch and join the conversation from wherever you are!
Take a look at the online conference we held last weekend, The Rise of the Administrative State ([link removed]) .
And you can join us live this Saturday at 2 p.m. ET for our next free online conference, National Security and Just War ([link removed]) . You’ll hear from some amazing speakers and learn the basics of just war theory in one afternoon. Register now.
And we have some other big online events in the works. Keep tabs on what’s coming here ([link removed]) .
2. Watch Great Speakers, Past and Present
Did you know you can watch or listen to the most influential conservative thinkers of the past seventy years in ISI’s lecture library ([link removed]) ?
You can hear directly from legendary figures like Russell Kirk ([link removed]) , William F. Buckley Jr. ([link removed]) , and F. A. Hayek ([link removed]) . . .
. . . and also from contemporary thinkers like Ross Douthat ([link removed]) , Peter Thiel ([link removed]) , and Sir Roger Scruton ([link removed]) .
Take a look around. This is one rabbit hole you definitely want to go down.
3. Read Great Articles & Essays
ISI’s Intercollegiate Review ([link removed]) and Modern Age ([link removed]) expose you to the best of intellectual conservatism, exploring everything from humane economics and philosophy to politics and culture.
With the Intercollegiate Review, you can read provocative pieces ranging from
“It’s Time for Conservatives to Stop Being Content with J.R.R. Tolkien and C.S. Lewis” ([link removed]) to “Four Myths About the Crusades.” ([link removed])
And you will see how Modern Age, under editor Daniel McCarthy, has become the forum for stimulating debate and discussion of the most important ideas of concern to conservatives of all stripes.
Check out Samuel Goldman’s thoughtful exploration of “The German Problem,” ([link removed]) Michael Anton’s recent essay on America’s imperial temptation ([link removed]) , and Robert Kraynak’s reflection on a timely question: how relevant are the American Founders today ([link removed]) ?
These resources are just a few ways you can continue your ISI experience. I hope they offer inspiration and rejuvenation in these difficult times.
Stay safe.
Sincerely,
Charlie Copeland
President, ISI
P.S. ISI’s next online conference is filling up fast. So reserve your spot now ([link removed]) and join us live this Saturday at 2 p.m. ET.
