Join NAS TOMORROW at 2 pm ET for a discussion of James Fenimore Cooper's The Last of the Mohicans.

“Chingachgook grasped the hand that, in the warmth of feeling, the scout had stretched across the fresh earth, and in that attitude of friendship these intrepid woodsmen bowed their heads together, while scalding tears fell to their feet, watering the grave of Uncas like drops of falling rain.”

What makes The Last of the Mohicans a great American novel? How has the novel influenced American depictions of frontiersmen and American Indians? Who influenced Cooper's writings, and who did his writings influence?

The webinar will feature Steven Harthorn, Chair of the Department of English and Literature and Professor of English at the University of Northwestern, St. Paul; Doreen Alvarez Saar, Professor of English at Drexel University and American Literature Editor for the Rocky Mountain Review of Language and Literature; and Craig White, Professor Emeritus of Literature at the University of Houston, Clear Lake. The discussion will be moderated by David Randall, Director of Research at the National Association of Scholars.

Join NAS this Thursday, October 13, at 2 pm ET for the second webinar in our new series on conservative political thought: "Right Ideas: Christopher Lasch."

Christopher Lasch was a historian and social critic, the author of numerous important works, including The Culture of Narcissism, The True and Only Heaven, and The Revolt of the Elites and the Betrayal of Democracy. Defying political categories, Lasch’s insight has influenced thinkers of all political stripes, and recently his work has seen something of a revival among thinkers on the political right.

In this second webinar in our new "Right Ideas" series, we will discuss Lasch and his newfound relevance for conservatives and all other political thinkers.

The webinar will feature Blake Smith, Harper Schmidt Fellow at the University of Chicago and a writing fellow at Heterodox Academy; Geoff Shullenberger, Managing Editor at Compact Magazine; and Eric Miller, Associate Professor of History at Geneva College. The discussion will be moderated by John Sailer, Research Fellow at the National Association of Scholars.

Join NAS this Friday, October 14, at 3 pm ET for a discussion of "Climate Misinformation."

What does “the science” say about climate change? Are we doomed, or is it no big deal? What’s disinformation, and what’s reliable information?

For many years, Roger Pielke, Jr., Professor of Environmental Studies at the University of Colorado and Distinguished Fellow of Japan’s Institute of Energy Economics, has been helping us sort through these questions. He has written extensively on science policy and governance. He makes a specialty of comparing what the data say about climate with what the public is being told about climate. You can see some of what he has to say at his Substack, The Honest Broker ([link removed]) .

This fifth installment in the Restoring the Sciences webinar series will feature a fascinating conversation with Dr. Pielke about the politics and science of climate. The discussion will be moderated by J. Scott Turner, Director of the Intrusion of Diversity in the Sciences Project for the National Association of Scholars.

Join NAS next Tuesday, October 18, at 2 pm ET for a discussion of "The Age of the Automobile."

The first automobiles were built in the 1800s, but it wasn't until the early 1900s, with the creation of Henry Ford's Model T, that automobiles began to be commonly used and owned. Before long, the automobile had revolutionized American life.

How did Henry Ford popularize the automobile in America? How were automobiles viewed when they were first introduced and how did this perception change over time? How did the interstate highway system develop, and was it built to accommodate cars of the day, or were cars modified to make overland travel more feasible?

This webinar will feature John Heitmann, Emeritus Professor of History at the University of Dayton and former President and Board Member of the Society of Automotive Historians; Dan Albert, author of Are We There Yet? The American Automobile Past, Present, and Driverless; and Tom Lewis, Professor of English at Skidmore College.

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