A Two-Panel Conference Examining Topics Through the Lens of Buckley’s Legacy
Hosted by the Gerald R. Ford Presidential Foundation in partnership with the National Review Institute, The Russell Kirk Center for Cultural Renewal, and the Acton Institute
William F. Buckley Jr.’s ideas and philosophy fundamentally shaped the conservative movement in the 20th century, and the impact of his work continues to this day.
From a defense of the free economy to the case for a strong national defense, Buckley’s incisive mind and witty insights rallied allies to a common cause and formed generations of public intellectuals.
This one-day conference will celebrate the legacy of WFB with panels on the Role of Education in Society featuring Kathryn Lopez, George Nash, Darrell Falconburg, and Jeff Nelson and Fusionisms, Old and New featuring Charles W. Cooke, Stephanie Slade, Nathan Schlueter, and John Pinheiro. Special remarks will be given by Gleaves Whitney, Rev. Robert Sirico, and Chuck DeFeo.
