Join NAS tomorrow, February 7, at 2 pm ET for "Edison and the Lightbulb."

Thomas Edison is credited as the inventor of the light bulb, but this marvelous invention was the result of the work of multiple people over the course of many years.

Who else contributed to the creation of the light bulb? How were early light bulbs different from those that we use today? How did Edison popularize the use of light bulbs, and how did his work contribute to the mass lighting of American homes?

This webinar will feature Paul Israel, Research Professor and Director of the Thomas A. Edison Papers Project at Rutgers University; Andre Millard, Director of American Studies at the University of Alabama at Birmingham; and Hal Wallace, Curator of the Electricity Collections in the Division of Work and Industry at the Smithsonian National Museum of American Energy.

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

Join NAS next Tuesday, February 14, at 2 pm ET for "From Affirmative Action to Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion."

The corrosive effect of diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) ideology on American higher education is well-documented. But what is less commonly explored is how DEI first infiltrated university administrations, transforming from an armchair theory to an active force in the academy. Long before the first DEI office was formed, admissions offices across the country were using DEI ideology to justify the use of racial preferences in admissions decisions.

This webinar will uncover the connection between affirmative action and the current DEI regime on campus, exposing the way that racial preferences contributed to DEI’s takeover of American academia.

This webinar will feature Hal Arkes, Professor Emeritus of Psychology at Ohio State University; Nick Capaldi, Legendre-Soule Professor of Business Ethics Emeritus at Loyola University New Orleans; and Ward Connerly, civil rights activist, businessman, and former University of California Regent.
The event will be moderated by David Randall, Director of Research at the National Association of Scholars.
