Dear John xxxxxx,
It is my pleasure to invite you to our panel on the enduring meaning of the Ancients' critique of the Moderns, a perennial debate that reverberates to the present day. It will take place this coming Thursday, December 7th @ 4 pm PT / 7 pm ET. The panel will be an hour and 30 minutes long.

This panel was originally scheduled to be presented at the American Political Science Association’s annual conference. The Claremont Institute has been hosting panels as a “Related Group” at the meeting for over thirty-five years. I made the decision to withdraw the Claremont Institute’s program this year after APSA, without explanation, moved all ten of our panels (and our reception) to a “virtual” format.
This whole debacle offers a silver lining. As the American academy grows more and more ideologically homogenous, politically one-sided, and intellectually corrupt, we have a golden opportunity to offer truly safe spaces for rigorous and open debate about critical issues of policy, history, politics, culture, political thought, and the American regime. And we are now unconstrained by APSA’s normal prohibition on filming or live broadcast.
Thank you,
Ryan P. Williams
