Schools of Civic Thought
New independently-run schools and centers are emerging at public universities across the country to address a gap in the teaching and study of civic thought, the liberal arts, and the Western tradition in higher education.
JMC Scholars are leading new schools to revive civics and the liberal arts.
These Schools of Civic Thought are built to fit the unique needs of their state and home
institutions. Now, they are creating faculty positions in previously declining fields,
fostering high-level civil discourse on campus, and enhancing K-12 civics education in
their states.
For two decades, JMC has been strategically investing in scholars dedicated to the American political tradition, creating a talent pipeline to meet the hiring needs of these institutes. Many faculty and staff at these schools are alumni of the Miller Fellowship and other JMC programs.
The Jack Miller Center plays a pivotal role in supporting these schools by recruiting faculty and leadership, developing curricula and programming, and advising on strategic expansion.
Meet Paul Carrese, JMC’s Senior Fellow for Civic Thought and Leadership
The Jack Miller Center is pleased to announce the addition of its newest senior fellow: Paul O. Carrese. In this capacity, he will be providing strategic direction and consultation to the JMC’s efforts to reform liberal arts and civics education on college campuses.
