Conference: Prospects for Anglo-American Conservatism in the Tradition of Russell Kirk and Roger Scruton

Join us on Friday, June 27, and Saturday, June 28, 2025, for a very special conference that considers the contemporary prospects for the Anglo-American intellectual conservative tradition.

Inspired by the complementary visions of Russell Kirk and Roger Scruton, this conference explores the humanistic and philosophical foundations of the conservative tradition in the English-speaking world. It also explores the conservative contribution to culture, religion, education, and more. In a time when the intellectual reputation of conservatism is increasingly endangered, the scholarship of Kirk and Scruton can help ground and guide us.

Jeffrey O. Nelson, Ferenc Hörcher, and Daniel Pitt have identified scholars from around the globe and across the United States to address the prospects for the Anglo-American intellectual conservative tradition through the prism of these two iconic and complementary thinkers—and the traditions of thought they represent. These scholars will be joined by some of the most promising members of the rising generation.
