Join NAS TOMORROW at 2 pm ET for a discussion of Edith Wharton's The Age of Innocence.

“In reality they all lived in a kind of hieroglyphic world, where the real thing was never said or done or even thought, but only represented by a set of arbitrary signs.”

What makes The Age of Innocence a great American novel? To what does the eponymous "age of innocence" refer? Who influenced Wharton's writings, and who did her writings influence?

This webinar will feature Candace Waid, Professor of English at the University of California, Santa Barbara; Carol Singley, Professor of English at Rutgers University-Camden; and Sheila Liming, Associate Professor of Writing at Champlain College.

The discussion will be moderated by David Randall, Director of Research at the National Association of Scholars.

Join NAS this Thursday, September 1, at 2 pm ET, for a special discussion of the Biden Administration's proposed Title IX rule.

Title IX is the 1972 Congressional ban on sex discrimination in federally funded education which is now used to impose left wing political goals in schools. Initially a seemingly benign ban on sex discrimination, Title IX has become a feminist weapon of choice, first to spuriously claim an epidemic of campus sexual assault and then to punish men for this alleged conduct, without due process in campus kangaroo courts.

Most recently, the Biden Administration is twisting Title IX again with a proposed rule to impose gender ideology and acceptance of same sex orientation on students and faculty. This means that those who question the morality of homosexual behavior, including on religious grounds, or those who question the bathroom and pronoun wars, will be accused of illegal sex discrimination under Title IX. This is an abuse never imagined by those who originally supported Title IX as a simple nondiscrimination law.

The webinar will feature National Association of Scholars Policy Director Teresa R. Manning, who will discuss the history and abuses of Title IX with other policy analysts, including attorney and Heritage Foundation Senior Legal Fellow Sarah Perry.

Please join this discussion and also make your voice heard by submitting a public comment opposing Biden's proposed rule by September 12. You can submit a public comment by clicking the green box on the right-hand side of this webpage ([link removed]) .

Join NAS next Thursday, September 8, at 2 pm ET, for a special webinar on vocational education and the American dream.

A traditional four-year college degree is often considered the only viable approach for many students leaving high-school, particularly if those students want to have a shot at a middle-class lifestyle and the "American dream." But is a four year degree, which often requires taking on tens of thousands of dollars in debt, truly the only way? Or are there alternatives to traditional higher education?

Career and technical education programs are often absent from the conversation, but these offer a robust and accessible way to a good life for many. Why are these programs so often considered less valuable or less attractive for students? And how can we change that?

This webinar will feature David Ferreira, former teacher, coordinator, and principal of a vocational-technical school and co-author of Hands-On Achievement: Massachusetts's National Model Vocational-Technical Schools; Ted Hadzi-Antich Jr., Associate Professor of Government and founder of the Great Questions Project at Austin Community College; and Chris Sinacola, co-author of Hands-On Achievement.

The discussion will be moderated by Jamie Gass, Director of the Center for School Reform at the Pioneer Institute.
