National Review Institute is pleased to announce that registration is now open for a NEW virtual Burke to Buckley Summer Course!

NRI runs several programs, one of which is the Burke to Buckley program, teaching the foundations of conservative thought. Formerly known as the Regional Fellowship Program, this program takes place in six cities and is an eight-session dinner series designed for mid-career professionals to gain a deeper understanding of founding principles and to build a network of talented, like-minded individuals who can assist one another professionally and personally for years to come.

Because the demand for intellectual content and community is high, we feel this is an opportune time to launch a new Burke to Buckley Summer Course. While this program was designed as an in-person program for professionals living near one of the six program cities, the virtual Summer Course will give anyone with an interest in the program the opportunity to participate.

Participants will meet via Zoom for a series of six weeknight seminars. These will take place on Wednesdays between May 27th and July 1st from 7:30 to 8:30 p.m. ET.

To gain the most benefit from the program, participants are encouraged to attend all six sessions and complete each reading assignment, which is typically around 25 pages. On the Zoom call, participants will have deep discussions around conservative thought with a leading conservative thinker.

There is a suggested contribution of $250 in order to cover program costs. Full 1955 Society members will receive complimentary access to the program.

The program will consist of six virtual sessions which will cover the following topics:

William F. Buckley Jr. and American Conservatism with Lee Edwards, PhD, Distinguished Fellow in Conservative Thought at The Heritage Foundation
Burke, Prudence, and the Spirit of Conservatism with Brian C. Anderson, PhD, Editor, City Journal at the Manhattan Institute
The Founders' Constitution with John Yoo, JD, Emanuel S. Heller Professor of Law at the University of California at Berkeley
Economic Freedom and Political Freedom with Bobbi Herzberg, PhD, Distinguished Senior Fellow, F. A. Hayek Program in Advanced Study in Philosophy, Politics, and Economics at the Mercatus Center
Conservatism, Democracy, and Foreign Policy with John Hillen, PhD, CEO at EverWatch
Mediating Structures between the State and the Individual with Daniel J. Mahoney, PhD, Professor of Political Science and Augustinian Boulanger Chair at Assumption College

Sessions involve spirited discussions around each of the topics listed above. Discussion leaders are all leaders in their field and consist of popular writers/speakers at National Review or faculty/leading thinkers at universities or policy groups.
