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
