This semester, the Tocqueville Program, in collaboration with the Ostrom Workshop, will continue to host a series of events on the topic “The Idea of America” that was started last Fall with two presentations on Alexander Hamilton and the history of the Statue of Liberty.
Our events, organized on Fridays at noon, will include presentations and discussions on factions in American politics, the political thought of James Madison, the idea of fraternity in America, liberalism in non-western contexts (Iran), the nature and limits of executive power in American political tradition, and the symbols of ISIS.
The whole list of speakers and topics can be found here:
