The Great Ideas Summer Institute

The Great Ideas Summer Institute (GISI) is a three-day academic event for rising high school juniors and seniors to experience the energy of a college classroom and engage in ideas that form the essence of American citizenship.

This year’s theme  is “The Idea of Citizenship in the American Republic.” Students will discuss the Greek origins of Western politics, Roman understandings of citizenship, the case for the American Revolution, the Federalist and the Anti-Federalist debates, and the creation of the United States Constitution. Students will also look at conceptions of citizenship and republicanism articulated through the works of Abraham Lincoln, the 19th Amendment, and Justice Thurgood Marshall.
