A Celebration of Harvey Mansfield

Oct. 20, 2023
Hosted by the Harvard Government Department, colleagues and former students gathered to discuss and reflect on Harvey Mansfield’s writings and scholarship upon his retirement from teaching. This was not a “new paper” conference, but a celebration, one with intellectual content and discourse that was cogent, if not comprehensive. This event was co-sponsored by the Program on Constitutional Government and the Center for American Political Studies at Harvard.
Panel 1: Richard Tuck (Harvard), James Hankins (Harvard), Clifford Orwin (University of Toronto), Susan Shell (Boston College), Rita Kogazon (University of Houston). Moderator: Eric Nelson (Harvard).
Panel 2: Steve Ansolabehere (Harvard), Bryan Garsten (Yale), Shep Melnick (Boston College), Russ Muirhead (Dartmouth), Michael Sandel (Harvard). Moderator: Bill Kristol
