SUMMARY:Thirteen Novels Conservatives Will Love (But Probably Haven't Read): Book Discussion with Christopher Scalia
DESCRIPTION:You may have read The Scarlet Letter in high school\, but have you ever read The Blithedale Romance\, Hawthorne’s scathing fictional account of a New England utopian community gone wrong? Or Leif Unger’s lyrical Peace Like a River\, which\, as Scalia argues\, offers profound insights on what it means to be a man? \nCome join us for a “fireside chat” with AEI Senior Fellow Christopher Scalia as he serves up a baker’s dozen of outstanding and often overlooked English and American novels—novels with rich moral\, cultural\, and social lessons for our own troubled times. \n  \n \n  \n \nChristopher J. Scalia is a Senior Fellow at the American Enterprise Institute\, where he focuses on literature\, culture\, and higher education. \nHis most recent book\, 13 Novels Conservatives Will Love (but Probably Haven’t Read)\, is\, in the words of Russell Kirk Center President (and former Thomas More College President) Jeffrey O. Nelson\, “a reliable guide to younger readers\, suspicious and wearied of politicized works of culture\, exhorting them to reclaim their patrimony by making great literature central to their intellectual formation.” \nA former English professor\, Dr. Scalia specialized in 18th-century and early 19th-century British literature. His articles\, essays\, and reviews on literature\, music\, higher education\, and other topics have appeared in the Wall Street Journal\, the Washington Post\, USA Today\, National Review\, First Things\, the Times Literary Supplement\, and FoxNews.com\, among other outlets. \nDr. Scalia is the coeditor of On Faith: Lessons from an American Believer (2019) and Scalia Speaks: Reflections on Law\, Faith\, and Life Well Lived (2017). \n

SUMMARY:Gen Z\, Gen Alpha\, and the Future of the Conservative Movement with Kimberly Begg
DESCRIPTION:What happens when the conservative movement speaks a language today’s young people no longer recognize? In this talk\, Kimberly Begg\, president of the Clare Boothe Luce Center for Conservative Women\, examines how the lived experiences of Gen Z and Gen Alpha differ sharply from those of leaders shaped by twentieth-century events—and why yesterday’s arguments no longer persuade. Drawing on her work with young women across the country\, Begg explores how words like conservative\, freedom\, and truth no longer carry shared meaning for a generation formed by COVID lockdowns\, the rise of transgender ideology\, and a deep mistrust of authorities who demand conformity while denying reality. She argues that today’s young people are both dreamers and realists. They are not interested in fighting their parents’ battles. What they want is to chart their own path rooted in purpose and common sense. Our task is to meet that desire with humility—to earn their trust\, pass on hard-earned wisdom\, and help them build meaningful lives capable of sustaining a free society. \n  \n \n  \nKimberly Begg is president of the Clare Boothe Luce Center for Conservative Women. An attorney with more than 25 years of experience strengthening conservative causes\, her long history with the Luce Center began in the 1990s when she was a student at Rutgers University. In 1997\, she attended the Luce Center’s College Women’s Luncheon in Washington\, DC and hosted a Luce campus lecture the following year. \nShe has been a regular speaker for the Luce Center since the 2000s and has served on the Center’s board of advisors and board of directors. She is the author of Unbreakable: Saints Who Inspired Saints to Moral Courage (TAN Books) and co-author with Mike Ortner of Catholic School Playbook (Word on Fire). She has served as vice president and general counsel of Young America’s Foundation and director of programs and general counsel of the Ortner Family Foundation. She helped found Young America’s Foundation’s Be Not Afraid seminar (originally\, the Standing Up for Faith and Freedom seminar)\, an annual program for students at Catholic schools\, in 2015. \nFrom 2021 to 2024\, she served as founding editor of Catholic School Playbook\, a website documenting the best practices of thriving Catholic schools. She serves on the board of directors of Young America’s Foundation\, the board of overseers of the Dominican House of Studies\, and the DC board of regents of Thomas Aquinas College. \nShe lives in Herndon\, Virginia\, with her husband\, Ian\, and their five children.

SUMMARY:Event: Faith\, Meaning\, and the Catholic Writer with Cy Kellett
DESCRIPTION:This talk explores the writing approaches of G.K. Chesterton and Walker Percy\, both of whom answered the confusions of modern life with wit\, insight\, and Christian faith. By considering their response to the modern search for meaning\, we can reflect on what their work still has to say about literature\, belief\, and the calling of the Catholic writer today. \n \n \n\n\n  \nCy Kellett is the host of Catholic Answers Live. He formerly hosted The Bright Side with Cy Kellett on the Immaculate Heart Radio network. Kellett and his wife\, Missy\, have three children. \n  \n  \nImage courtesy of the Society of Gilbert Keith Chesterton
