The Intercollegiate Studies Institute Lecture Program assists in sponsoring lectures each year at the college, university, and preparatory school levels. ISI makes available top scholars and nationally known speakers to lecture at campuses across the country. These events examine both popular topics, such as affirmative action and core curriculum controversies, as well as perennial concerns, such as the nature of freedom and the best forms of government. ISI's lectures are rooted in fundamental principles and the enduring Western intellectual patrimony. John J. Miller is National Review magazine's National Political Reporter, based in Washington, D.C., and author of The Unmaking of Americans: How Multiculturalism Has Undermined the Assimilation Ethic (The Free Press, May 1998).
