Liveblogging from the Lehrman American Studies Center's Summer Institute

These days I write from Princeton, New Jersey. I am a fly on the wall of the Lehrman American Studies Center's Summer Institute. The Lehrman American Studies Center (LASC) is connected to the Intercollegiate Studies Institute (ISI). The Summer Institute is a two-week course which combines substantive discussion and lectures of core texts and ideas from American history, political philosophy, and political science, with sections on professionalization.
