2020 Chicago Regional Seminar


“Though liberals do a great deal of talking about hearing other points of view, it sometimes shocks them to learn that there are other points of view.”
— William F. Buckley, Jr., Up From Liberalism.

Each seminar will feature a keynote address by NR’s Editor in Chief, Rich Lowry, who will discuss the topic of his new book, The Case for Nationalism: How It Made Us Powerful, United, and Free (Broadside Books, November 2019).
