Center for Political Thought and Leadership
Supporting and Advancing American Political Thought and Civic Education
Free political societies need to be informed and thoughtful societies. Research and teaching in American political thought goes hand in hand with educating American citizens and citizen-leaders. We are committed to furthering these important goals.
Experiences that inspire thought and action
From undergraduate conferences and symposia to scholarly meetings and lecture series, we sponsor experiences that illuminate American political principles and inspire thoughtful civic engagement.
Research to further our understanding
We support scholarship in American political thought through our sponsorship of research journals and special projects, and through our support of visiting and affiliated scholars.
Partnerships with distinguished institutions
We actively partner with other academic centers and units, both within ASU and at distinguished institutions across the country.
