What does it mean to teach well?

The Lehrman American Studies Center is enriching higher education by building up a community of scholars who seek to understand and to teach American ideals and institutions. This website is designed to help

professors make the most of this vibrant community of talented and dedicated scholars by encouraging the kind of exchange appropriate to sincere friendship, a genuine search for knowledge and mutual pedagogical enrichment.

Lehrman Summer Institutes

Every year, the Lehrman American Studies Center partners with Princeton University's James Madison Program in American Ideals and Institutions to offer a two-week program with the immediate practical aim of developing and adopting intellectually serious, compelling, and philosophically engaging courses that deal with the foundational principles of the American Republic.
