"The George Washington Forum aims to bolster the teaching of America’s foundational principles in their Western intellectual, political, and institutional contexts. It is founded on the idea that students facing an increasingly globalized world need to understand what particularly characterizes and distinguishes the nation in which they live and the civilization from which it emerged. As such, the Washington Forum aims to help students become enlightened citizens in a liberal democracy whose roots run deep in Western civilization but whose ideals and interests transcend the West.
During the 2009–10 academic year, The Washington Forum will host a major conference on Making Democracy: Violence, Politics and the American Founding (22–23 April 2010). Plenary speakers will include Andrew Cayton, Peter Onuf, David Hendrickson, Patrick Griffin, and T.H. Breen. The Forum will also host public lectures during the year by Patrick Deneen, Jack P. Greene, and Paul Halliday."
