Tomorrow's event, "1933: FDR, WPA, and the New Deal," has been postponed. Once we have a new date to host this event we will announce it! Until then, please join us for our various other upcoming events.

We invite you to join us for a special webinar on a revolution occurring in American medical education—as well as the next event in our American literature series.

Our next two webinars are:

Join NAS this Thursday, February 3rd, at 2 pm ET, as we discuss "Hypocritical Oath: The Origins and Consequences of Woke Medical Education."

America's medical schools have begun transforming their institutional purpose. No longer do they exist to impart and share the "hard-won scientific gains" of the physicians whose steps they walk in, but rather to inculcate their students with the values of "diversity, equity, and inclusion" and "anti-racism."

Medical schools no longer turn a blind eye to the politics of their students and faculty, but encourage them to become "activists" and practice "anti-racism" and "equity." These new teachings ensure that patients are treated with equity, as opposed to equality. Greater care is encouraged for "historically oppressed minorities," while "historical oppressors" are told to wait their turn.

In this webinar, we hope to answer questions such as: What are the origins of this new medical education? What are the ongoing policy changes at medical schools to introduce "anti-racism" to a new generation of doctors? And what are the on-the-ground effects of this new ideology?

This webinar will feature Salley Satel, a practicing psychiatrist, lecturer at the Yale University School of Medicine, and Senior Fellow at the American Enterprise Institute; Aaron Sibarium, associate editor at the Washington Free Beacon; and John Sailer, a research associate at the National Association of Scholars and author of numerous articles on DEI in medical education.

Join NAS on Tuesday, February 8th, at 2 pm ET, as we discuss The Red Badge of Courage by Stephen Crane.

Despite his youth and lack of personal experience with warfare at the time of his writing, Crane wrote remarkably realistic depictions of battles. His writings throughout his short life would always be held up against his seminal work. How does Crane depict the themes of cowardice and heroism? What makes The Red Badge of Courage a great American novel?

This webinar will feature Patrick Dooley, Board of Trustees Distinguished Professor of Philosophy Emeritus at St. Bonaventure University; Lee Clark Mitchell, Holmes Professor of Belles-Lettres at Princeton University; and James Nagel, Edison Distinguished Professor Emeritus at the University of Georgia, Resident Scholar at Dartmouth College, and President of the International Society for the Study of the American Short Story.
