Constitutional Studies: “The Virtue of Nationalism”
The Constitutional Studies Program at Notre Dame, a JMC partner program, will be hosting a lecture by Yoram Hazony on his new book, The Virtue of Nationalism, which has been selected as the Conservative Book of the Year 2019 by the Intercollegiate Studies Institute. The book argues that a nationalist order is the only realistic safeguard of liberty in the world today. A world of sovereign nations is the only option for those who care about personal and collective freedom.

The Constitutional Studies Program at Notre Dame, a JMC partner program, is a minor that seeks to educate students on constitutional governments and how they may be used to secure the common good. Thoughtful and educated citizens must possess certain virtues; they must understand and be able to implement, defend, and, if need be, reform constitutional institutions. By creating informed citizens, the program contributes to the University’s mission to pursue truth and to nurture a concern for the common good that will bear fruit as learning becomes service to justice.
