2025 American Politics and Government Summit | Intercollegiate Studies Institute
Recorded live at ISI’s 2025 American Politics and Government Summit, this series presents three days of rigorous lectures, panels, and debates exploring the theme Statesmanship and Leadership in the Age of Mass Society. Featuring leading scholars including Christopher Caldwell, Patrick J. Deneen, and Vincent Phillip Muñoz, the Summit examined the challenges facing leadership in an era increasingly shaped by mass culture, technological change, and the managerial state.
Through conversations spanning political theory, history, psychology, and public affairs, these sessions revisit warnings from Churchill, Burke, Tocqueville, Nietzsche, Kirk, Arendt, and others who foresaw modernity’s tensions. Join faculty, thinkers, and citizens as they grapple with the future of statesmanship and the ideas that will shape the Right’s governing philosophy in the decades ahead.
