We invite you to join us tomorrow for the next event in our Celebrating America webinar series—as well as a special webinar later this week on diversity, equity, and inclusion initiatives in American universities.

Our next two webinars are:

Join NAS tomorrow on Tuesday, February 15th, at 2 pm ET, as we discuss "1945: World at War - America in WWII."

In 1939, Hitler's Germany began its invasion of Poland, which set off a series of war declarations from other European powers. Within a short time the world was embroiled in what would prove to be the deadliest conflict in human history. Over seventy million people died in the conflict, including some six million Jews systematically murdered by the Nazi regime during the Holocaust.

What were some of the most important events of the war? How did WWII shape the history of the United States and its trajectory as an engaged world power?

This webinar will feature Gordon Martel, Professor Emeritus of History at the University of Northern British Columbia; Sean McMeekin, Francis Flournoy Professor of European History and Culture at Bard College; and Marc Wortman, author of 1941: Fighting the Shadow War: A Divided America in a World at War.

Join NAS and the James G. Martin Center for Academic Renewal this Thursday, February 17th, at 2 pm ET, as we discuss "The Anatomy of a Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Takeover."

New offices of diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) have sprung up on campus around the nation. What are they and what purpose do they serve? How has DEI come to rival some academic departments in staffing numbers?

DEI offices have become their own centers of power on campus by leading investigations into alleged wrongdoing by professors and students, limiting free speech and academic freedom, and using students to protest for their preference of political ends. This has led many professors and students to self-censor in the classroom and in their research. Politically inconvenient research is often avoided to ensure career survival.

This webinar will feature Joel Gardner, attorney, investment banker, multiple alumnus board member at the University of Virginia, and recent member of the UVA Committee on Free Expression and Free Inquiry; John Sailer, research associate at the National Association of Scholars; and Scott Yenor, professor of political science at Boise State University and a Washington Fellow at the Claremont Institute. The discussion will be moderated by Jenna Robinson, president of the James G. Martin Center for Academic Renewal, and David Randall, director of research at the National Association of Scholars.
