Learn MoreAmerican Politics and Government Summit
Are you a faculty member or graduate student looking for a place that honors academic debate and exchange?
Join us for ISI’s American Politics and Government Summit: a conference dedicated to bringing together scholars to participate in dialogue focused on emerging research, rooted in timeless principles, in the fields of politics, philosophy, and economics.
This conference will be held October 28-29, 2022 at ISI’s beautiful 20-acre campus. Unlike the echo chambers that suppress free inquiry and only permit the ideas of a coterie of experts, our campus will be the setting that inspires academic excellence.
“Out of all the classes and extracurriculars I did in college, ISI has without doubt been the single most formative experience.”
- Will Long, Harvard Class of 2019
“ISI fosters the learning environment that many of the best universities have failed to preserve.”
- Isabella Heshmatpour, Barnard College
“ISI has given me opportunities I never dreamed of while providing me with an intellectual experience like no other.”
- Maria Biery, University of Pennsylvania alumna
“I’m grateful for the instruction I received at Harvard, but my education would not have been complete without ISI.”
- James Holt, Harvard alumnus
“The rich conversations at ISI conferences made me realize why I went to university.”
- Emily Rose Mitchell, Rhodes College
