Tocqueville Forum

Announcing the publication of new student journal

The Tocqueville Forum on the Roots of American Democracy is pleased to announce the publication of its new student-run journal of ideas, politics, and culture, entitled "Utraque Unum."  The title reflects the motto of Georgetown's seal, "Both One," a testament to the University's historic commitment to combine faith and reason in order to better and more deeply understand our lives as citizens and human beings. 

The first issue of the journal features an original article by Associate Justice Antonin Scalia, Georgetown College Class of 1957.  Justice Scalia's article is based on the lecture he delivered at the first event of the Tocqueville Forum in October 2006, and is entitled  "Constitutional Government and Civic Education."  The journal also features a number of articles by current undergraduates and graduate students and an essay by Fr. James V. Schall, S.J., professor in the Department of Government.  The journal's Editor in Chief is Eric Wind, a junior in the School of Foreign Service, and its editor is Matthew J. Engler, a senior in the School of Foreign Service.

The Tocqueville Forum would be pleased to send interested readers a copy of the journal.  Please contact us at:  tocquevilleforum@georgetown.edu.
