As teachers across the country mark Civic Learning Week in March, we invite you to join a distinguished panel of Jack Miller Center scholars for a conversation about incorporating the serious study of statesmanship in both K-12 and college curriculum.
What can America’s great leaders teach us about citizenship today? How do their decisions reveal the enduring principles of our political tradition? And how can the next generation of leaders attain the intellectual grounding needed for statesmanship in the 21st century?

Join us on Tuesday, March 11, at 3:00 PM for a webinar on teaching statesmanship with Jack Miller Center president
Hans Zeiger ([link removed]) , Princeton University’s Shilo Brooks ([link removed]) , and Catholic University of America’s Michael Promisel ([link removed]) . This live webinar is free and open to the public.

READ: "Civic Thought and Political Science"
James Stoner / National Affairs

[link removed]

JMC scholar James R. Stoner Jr. ([link removed]) wrote a piece in the latest issue of National Affairs ([link removed]) examining the relationship between political science and the emerging field of civic thought:

How does the emerging field of civic thought relate to that long-established discipline [political science]?
Are the two so at odds that one precludes the other? Or do their differences allow them to supplement one another in the quest for truth?

To answer these questions, we will need to explore how the field of civic thought both diverges from and converges with that of political science. Broadly speaking, civic thought differs from political science in three ways: in its approach to facts and values, in its concern for the particular versus the universal, and in its attitude toward the use of expertise in political life. It is worth considering each of these in turn...

Miller Fellows Matthew Brogdon ([link removed]) and Robert Burton ([link removed]) , of the Center for Constitutional Studies ([link removed]) at Utah Valley University, recently appeared in Deseret News ([link removed]) , writing on the crucial need for civic education:

It’s 1779. Having broken from Britain, the American colonists are halfway through the bloody crucible of

The Jack Miller Center is a nonpartisan educational venture to advance the work of scholars who teach and study the ideas, documents, and history we hold in common as Americans. We seek to grow the talent pipeline of university educators who teach the American political tradition, to forge new models for university-based training of K-12 civics and history teachers, and to build a diverse coalition of Americans to ignite a civic education renaissance.
