Connect, Collaborate, and Develop Your Ideas

Scholarly programs and events are core to the IHS community and serve as an academic forum for the exchange of ideas. We believe that important discoveries and developments occur when we come together. Scholars from across the ideological spectrum convene to identify common concerns and avenues for collaboration and civil discourse.
