Recent coverage cites low enrollment in our special topics courses as evidence of failure. We hired our first faculty member six weeks ago, and our permanent courses are still awaiting approval. This is the normal sequence of building an academic center. https://t.co/NTNTr1Fp4l

I am proud to announce that I have accepted an offer to join West Virginia University's Washington Center for Civics, Culture, and Statesmanship as an Assistant Professor, beginning in the fall.

The driving impulse behind my scholarly work has always been to engage seriously with the question of justice. My aim is that this work would benefit my fellow students, scholars, and citizens.

I am grateful for the opportunity to share that devotion to liberal education, free speech, and dogged investigation in the classroom.

It is an honor.

Two weeks ago, Washington Center Director Patrick Lee Miller addressed the WVU Student Government Association, outlining the Center’s mission: free inquiry, American ideals, and their roots in Western civilization. Courses begin this fall. https://t.co/q7IJmKJ2E0
