2026 Constitution Day Lecture

The Reubin O’D. Askew Department of Government hosted its annual Constitution Day lecture on September 24th in the UWF Conference Center Ballroom. This year’s event commemorated the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence and featured Dr. Jane E. Calvert, historian and founding director of The John Dickinson Writings Project. Dr. Calvert spoke on the political thought of John Dickinson, one of the few American leaders to contribute to the Declaration of Independence, the Articles of Confederation, and the U.S. Constitution. Her award-winning biography, Penman of the Founding: A Biography of John Dickinson (Oxford, 2024), provides further insight into his life and legacy. “As a department, we’ve expanded our community outreach with events like World Languages Movie Night, the Seligman and Askew Lectures, and the annual foreign policy webinar,” said Dr. David Ramsey, chair of the Askew Department of Government. “But Constitution Day remains our signature event, giving students and community members an opportunity to reflect on the enduring significance of the Constitution. This year, it was a real pleasure to watch our students engage Dr. Calvert with thoughtful questions and hear her respond in real time.
