We invite you to join us TODAY at 2 pm ET for a special webinar on civics in American higher education and in two weeks for a discussion of Harriet Beecher Stowe's Uncle Tom's Cabin.

Join NAS TODAY at 2 pm ET for a discussion of civics in American higher education.

How is civics taught in higher education? How do our universities seek to fulfill their civic mission?

With these questions in mind, the NAS examined three case studies on three states—Arizona, Texas, and Utah. The case studies found that, while each state requires some form of history and government education, that conventional form of civics education is being overshadowed by the rise of diversity, equity, and inclusion initiatives. In this webinar, we will discuss those findings, along with policy solutions.

The event will feature Matt Beienburg, Director of Education Policy at the Goldwater Institute; Richard Lowery, National Association of Scholars Affiliate Head and Associate Professor of Finance at UT Austin; and John Sailer, Research Associate at the National Association of Scholars and author of Educating for Citizenship. The discussion will be moderated by Mason Goad, Junior Researcher at the National Association of Scholars.

Join NAS on Tuesday, July 19th, at 2 pm ET, for a discussion of Harriet Beecher Stowe's Uncle Tom's Cabin.

“There are in this world blessed souls, whose sorrows all spring up into joys for others; whose earthly hopes, laid in the grave with many tears, are the seed from which spring healing flowers and balm for the desolate and the distressed.”

What makes Uncle Tom's Cabin a great American novel? What effect did it have on attitudes toward slavery in America? Did the novel play a role in laying the groundwork for the Civil War?

This webinar will feature Steven Petersheim, Associate Professor of English at Toccoa Falls University; David Reynolds, Distinguished Professor at the Graduate Center of the City University of New York; and Hollis Robbins, Dean of Humanities at the University of Utah. The discussion will be moderated by David Randall, Director of Research at the National Association of Scholars.
