First Principles would like to make its readers aware of a current job opening at The Tocqueville Forum on the Roots of American Democracy, located at Georgetown University.
The Tocqueville Forum is a multi-disciplinary student development and lecture program devoted to exploring the foundations, challenges, and prospects for American democracy. As its efforts and influence are expanding, the Forum is looking for an experienced director to manage the staff and programs of this rapidly growing new addition to the Georgetown campus.
The Tocqueville Forum on the Roots of American Democracy, an initiative housed in the Department of Government at Georgetown University, seeks to advance the study of America's founding principles and their roots in the Western philosophical and religious traditions. Named for Alexis de Tocqueville, the 19th-century French observer of America, the Forum endeavors to emulate Tocqueville's sympathetic and penetrating exploration of the origins of and prospects for American constitutional democracy.
Sponsoring events such as conferences, lectures and colloquia on the campus of Georgetown University, the Tocqueville Forum hopes to deepen classical liberal learning and elevate the civic understanding of the students of Georgetown University and the next generation of citizens and leaders.
