The Nisbet Fellowship
The Nisbet fellowship is named after Robert Nisbet (1913-1996), who was a professor of sociology at Columbia University. He is the author of numerous books, but his seminal work, The Quest for Community, is especially relevant to the Ciceronian Society and its core themes. He also represents our interdisciplinarity and the affection for tradition and place we value.

- Any accepted conference panelist with at least a Bachelor’s Degree or its equivalent.
- Must be professionally engaged in education or a similar role of regular moral and intellectual formation

What will you receive?

The Clergy Fellowship
The Ciceronian Society is an organization of Christian scholars who take their faith seriously, and we view churches as places we are called to serve. In order to explore what that service looks like and how we understand the role of scholars in the church, we want to engage more with those called to shepherd congregations.
