SUMMARY:Constitutional Convention
DESCRIPTION:What took place during the summer of 1787 is still considered extraordinary…but how did the delegates actually tackle and respond to the problems facing them to secure ‘the blessings of liberty’? Our study of these debates will attempt to understand the interests and principles that divided the members of the Convention and how they arrived at a compromise that defined the Constitution of 1787. \nThis program will be conducted as a discussion\, utilizing primary source documents as the only readings\, and with the scholar facilitating the conversation\, instead of lecturing or presenting. Registrants\, therefore\, are highly encouraged to read all the documents in advance and come ready with questions. Teachers will receive a Letter of Attendance at the conclusion of the seminar.

SUMMARY:America at 250: The Legacy of the Declaration of Independence
DESCRIPTION:Abraham Lincoln and Martin Luther King\, Jr. both argued that the proper foundation for civic education is the belief that America has a moral essence derived from the principles of the Declaration of Independence\, and that America’s history and purpose—its past\, present\, and future—is the story of our struggle to live up to those principles. In this seminar\, we will read three documents–the Declaration of Independence\, the Gettysburg Address\, and the “I Have a Dream” Speech”– that demonstrate that an American is not just a citizen or an abstract concept\, but a certain kind of human being\, a person whose mind and heart have been profoundly shaped by the principles contained in the Declaration\, especially the truth of the proposition that all men are created equal. That understanding of an American still resonates with teachers\, students\, and citizens today\, 250 years after Thomas Jefferson first wrote the words that made America: “We hold these truths to be selfevident\, that all men are created equal.” \nThis program will be conducted as a discussion\, utilizing primary source documents as the only readings\, and with the Discussion Leader facilitating the conversation\, instead of lecturing or presenting. Registrants\, therefore\, are highly encouraged to read all the documents in advance and come ready with questions. Teachers will receive a Letter of Attendance at the conclusion of the seminar.

SUMMARY:Washington and Hamilton: The Alliance That Forged a Nation
DESCRIPTION:What was the extraordinary partnership between George Washington and Alexander Hamilton? A wealthy Virginia planter and a brash immigrant from the Caribbean helped to win the Revolutionary War and establish a “new order for the ages.” Indeed\, no other founding collaboration was as important to achieving victory and nationhood as Washington and Hamilton’s. Working together\, they laid the groundwork for the institutions that govern the United States to this day and protected each other from bitter attacks from Jefferson and Madison\, who considered their policies a betrayal of the “Spirit of 1776.” \nThis program will be conducted as a discussion\, utilizing primary source documents as the only readings with the Professor facilitating the conversation. Registrants\, are highly encouraged to read all the documents in advance and come ready with questions.

SUMMARY:Origins of the Cold War

SUMMARY:French & Indian War to Revolution: 1754-1776
DESCRIPTION:The global Seven Years’ War (known in America as the French and Indian War) caused Britain\, France\, and their allies to clash from 1754 to 1763. Although important in its own right\, perhaps it is even more significant in that it reordered the world in ways that would prove consequential beyond anyone’s expectations. In colonial America\, especially\, this great victory for Britain and the British American colonies had the unforeseen effect of unraveling the great empire that the 1763 Treaty of Paris codified. \nThis program will be conducted as a Socratic discussion\, utilizing primary source documents as the only readings\, and with the Discussion Leader facilitating the conversation\, instead of lecturing or presenting. Registrants\, therefore\, are highly encouraged to read all the documents in advance and come ready with questions. Teachers will receive a Letter of Attendance at the conclusion of the seminar.
