Traditionalism Rising
Get PDFConstitutional traditionalism is rising. From due process to free speech, religious liberty, the right to keep and bear arms, and more, the Court made clear in its 2021 term that it will follow a method that is guided by “tradition.”
This paper is in part an exercise in naming: the Court’s 2021 body of work is, in fact, thoroughly traditionalist. It is therefore a propitious moment to explain just what traditionalism entails. After summarizing the basic features of traditionalism in some of my prior work and identifying them in the Court’s 2021 term decisions, this paper situates these recent examples of traditionalism within this larger, longstanding interpretive method. Contrary to many claims, there is little that is entirely new or unexpected, other than the Court’s more explicit embrace of traditionalism this term than in the past. The paper then distinguishes traditionalism from originalism, focusing especially on what some originalists have called “liquidation.” Finally, it raises and considers one comparatively straightforward and two more difficult problems for traditionalism: (a) the problem of selecting the operative “level of generality” for any tradition; (b) the problem of tradition’s moral justification, offering possibilities based on the connection between enduring practices and (1) human desires, (2) virtues or legal excellences, or (3) natural law determinations; and (c) the problem of traditionalism’s politics
Progressivism, Conservatism, and Democracy
Get PDF“Conserve” is a transitive verb, one that conveys little unless followed by a direct object. The meaning of conservatism then, depends on what conservatives want to conserve: why it’s valuable, therefore meriting conservation; and why it’s vulnerable, therefore requiring conservation.
The answer to that question will vary from one time and place to another. During the Cold War, American conservatives bristled when newspapers referred to the most inflexible, doctrinaire Soviet leaders as the Kremlin’s “conservatives.” But this journalistic shorthand wasn’t absurd: it’s hard to identify a conservative essence discernible in all political settings. A skeptical, wary attitude regarding change is the best available approximation of a unifying element. In one summary, liberals want to make the world a better place while conservatives try to keep it from becoming even worse
Deans\u27 Panel: Evolution or Revolution? Digital Transformation, AI, and Academic Libraries
Get PDFWill AI displace a significant portion of traditional library workflows in the next 5-10 years? Should most libraries take a wait and see approach to these fast-paced technology trends, allowing a bleeding edge minority to take the risk first?With anticipation of a new round of digital revolution driven by Artificial Intelligence (AI) across all industries, three library deans reflect on what this means for academic libraries.Xuemao Wang will share leadership approaches for setting a bold and disruptive organizational vision, placing “transforming digital research methods” as the top priority for academic and research libraries, establishing a new mission and new value proposition. Jeff Steely will reflect on past incremental approaches to organizational change and the tension between revolutionary change that may be required now, and the constraints faced by libraries – flat budgets, internal resistance to change, and lack of clarity. Libraries on campus are not always a part of initial conversations related to emerging technologies impacting higher education. These, however, make their way to the library -- and quickly. Courtney Young will consider how the library might prepare for, participate in, and perhaps even take a lead role in exploring these emerging technologies, particularly where there is skepticism, mistrust, and fear
