Call for Papers: Gordon College Conference on “American Independence and Identity at 250": Examining Democracy in the United States and Globally, June 11-13, 2026

This conference, hosted by Gordon College, provides Christian political scientists, historians, and sociologists with a unique forum to gather to explore the state of democracy in the US (and globally). The conference will feature stellar keynote addresses, paper panels, workshops, and roundtables. In addition, in recognition of the 250th anniversary of the American Revolution, the conference also includes an optional Sunday afternoon excursion into nearby Boston to visit revolutionary sites. Gordon College, in Wenham, MA, is a short drive from historic Boston, and is located near beautiful beaches and woodlands. The Lilly Network is co-sponsoring this conference.
