Join historian Brendan McConville for a compelling look at the forces that shaped the American founding as the nation approaches its 250th anniversary. Drawing on his deep scholarship in early American history, McConville examines how ideas, institutions, and cultural shifts converged to create a new political order — and what those origins can teach us today. This lecture offers students and community members a clear, engaging entry point into the story of America’s emergence and the enduring principles that continue to define it.
