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. Mr. Dinesh D'Souza is Rishwain Research Fellow at the Hoover Institution at Stanford University, the former John M. Olin Scholar at the American Enterprise Institute, and has served as senior domestic policy analyst in the Reagan White House from 1987 to 1988. He is the best-selling author of Illiberal Education: The Politics of Race and Sex on Campus and The End of Racism. His other works include Ronald Reagan: How an Ordinary Man Became an Extraordinary President and most recently The Moral Conundrum of Success: Searching for Values in an Age of Prosperity and Technology.

Is America Fundamentally Good in the World?, August 10, 2006

This debate offered from the Intercollegiate Studies Institute really doesn't cover the September 11th attacks. Instead it is more of an overall debate about whether American power and wealth in the world is generally good or bad. Dinesh D'Souza, author of What's So Great About America, argues that the American way of life is superior than other cultures and that we all too often ignore the freedoms and priviledges that make us the envy of the world. Rabbi Michael Lerner argues that the American empire is excessively selfish and greedy, and that our financial and military power has been used to oppress cultures throughout the world. It makes for a very heated and interesting debate.
