Vision

The Calhoun Institute will build a community of bright and inquisitive minds, at all levels of academic achievement, and thereby nurture and grow a new generation of scholars, thinkers and leaders rooted in right historical, legal, Constitutional and moral thinking while defending those legacies gifted to us from our past.

We are a non-profit educational institution dedicated to the study of constitutional law, federalism, states’ rights, culture and good governance.

The Calhoun Institute exists to link the political legacy and thoughts of John C. Calhoun to contemporary problems, issues and discussions of political theory, specifically as these relate to the southern tradition and contemporary problems/solutions.

Toward that end we encourage, support and highlight scholarly works that address issues of constitutional law, federalism, states’ rights, culture and good governance.
