JMC WELCOMES 2026 JACK MILLER FELLOWS 🇺🇸 ✍️ 💬 The Jack Miller Center is proud to announce our 2026 class of Jack Miller Fellows, which includes 23 graduate students and young faculty from 19 universities across the country.

The fellowship begins with a rigorous two-week summer institute in which the new cohort sharpens their understanding of American political thought and history and builds a rich professional network to further their intellectual growth. In honor of America’s 250th anniversary, this year’s cohort of fellows were immersed in the historic setting of Charlottesville, Virginia, studying and socializing at the University of Virginia grounds and Thomas Jefferson’s Monticello.

I'm seeing quite a lot of shallow sociology attempting to explain how @ZhugeYY could manage to be so intelligent, humorous, and probing in this interview. You can hear her speak about her education in this 2025 interview with a @JackMillerCtr colleague. https://t.co/7vrXwRL9bc

Over the past almost two weeks at @JackMillerCtr's Summer Institute, I met some of the smartest and most exceptional scholars in history, philosophy, and politics I've ever encountered, all being trained to teach the American political tradition. The future is pretty bright.

LIVE! 🏛️ 📸📚

The 2026 Jack Miller Fellows are thoroughly enjoying the fellowship's historic setting! After soaking in @UVA's beautiful campus in Charlottesville, fellows took a weekend field trip to Thomas Jefferson's Monticello.

Gathered around the table at @TJMonticello, fellows sharpened their understanding of American political thought and history with Dr. Jeremy Bailey (University of Florida @ufhamilton) then continued their discussions during a tour of the grounds.

We're proud to announce Issue III of From the Academy: Civics Education.

As America celebrates its 250th anniversary, this issue asks a vital question: Will our colleges prepare students to become citizens?

Featuring essays and conversations with David Randall, Jason Jewell, Lee Strang, Austin Packham, Matthew Brogdon, Jack Miller, Bryan Paul, Andrea Kirk Assaf, and Erec Smith, this issue explores how institutions of higher education can restore civic knowledge, constitutional literacy, and the virtues essential to sustaining the American republic.

The Declaration of Independence changed the world, and Judge Douglas Ginsburg tells that story in his excellent hour-long documentary "We Hold These Truths: The Global Quest for Liberty." I highly recommend.

I invite you to listen to a reading of the Declaration of Independence, presented by members of the @JackMillerCtr staff and family members, along with members of our National Civics Council. Happy Independence Day #250!

If you’re looking to do a close reading of the Declaration of Independence in this America250 season, I highly recommend a new book called Finding the Founding by @CaseySpinks. It’s a line-by-line meditation on the text of the Declaration, and it made me think more deeply than I ever have before about the words that gave rise to America and changed the world.

I am proud of our team @JackMillerCtr, inspired by nearly 500 leaders from education, philanthropy & civil society who came together for the 2026 National Summit on Civic Education, and excited to be part of the growing national civics movement at this America250 moment!

[Jack Miller Center @JackMillerCtr]
