Recapping our First School of Conservative Studies Conference: Prospects for Anglo-American Conservatism in the Tradition of Russell Kirk and Roger Scruton

Thanks to the scholars and guests from four countries who joined us on June 27 and 28 for a very special conference that considered the contemporary prospects for the Anglo-American intellectual conservative tradition.

This was our largest academic conference in the Kirk Center’s 30 year history with over 130 guests, and featuring twenty-four speakers over two days of lectures and breakouts.

Inspired by the complementary visions of Russell Kirk and Roger Scruton, speakers and guests traveled in from across the globe to explore the humanistic and philosophical foundations of the conservative tradition in the English-speaking world.

If you were unable to join us in person, we’re pleased to share that videos of the panels will be available in the coming months on our YouTube channel. In the meantime, we hope you enjoy the photos from the conference below. Learn more about our School of Conservative Studies as well as upcoming course offerings here.
