Our 2024 conference will be held in Grand Rapids, Michigan on October 4 and 5. Ross Douthat, a New York Times opinion columnist and the author of several books, will be joining us to give the keynote address, and our theme will be Civility and its Discontents. Other speakers include Nathan Beacom, Elizabeth Corey, Kate Dalton, Bill Kauffman, and Micah Watson. We’ll be posting the full schedule in the coming weeks, but you can register now.
