The Regions

PACIFIC NORTHWEST

Begun in 2018, JMC’s PNW Initiative so far reaches to eight institutions in the Pacific Northwest. We continue to work to build partnerships in the region so that more students are exposed to the great ideas of American history and the founding. The Initiative is generously supported by the M.J. Murdock Charitable Trust, which works with purpose and enthusiasm to support projects in the Pacific Northwest that educate, develop, and bridge cultures, beliefs and generations.

Bringing together faculty working within the region and incorporating PNW faculty into our national network have both been important for supporting the work happening on PNW campuses and the career development of these professors.

Campus events support the careers of faculty, giving them greater clout at their home institutions. They also give other PNW faculty the opportunity to engage with scholars in and outside of the region.

At the same time, our PNW faculty are now gaining new opportunities to serve as guest lecturers themselves, further developing their academic networks.

OHIO

As citizens, students need to understand the basic ideas that shape our economic and political life–in order both to realize their personal potential and to participate in local, state and national political discussions.

The Ohio Political Economy Project is designed to transform education in the Buckeye State by providing students new opportunities to deepen their knowledge of how our nation’s free institutions drive innovation and progress.

Working in partnership with faculty and administrators the JMC is developing a new initiative that will expand student access to this education and develop engaging, innovative curricular models that will add value for students in the humanities, as well as students preparing for lives in business, law and other endeavors. To achieve this goal, we are building a statewide community of interested faculty and supporting the development of new courses and resources.
