Dr. Michael
Zuckert is the Nancy R. Dreux Professor of Political Science at
the University of Notre Dame. Prior to going to Notre Dame in 1998,
he was the William R. Kenan, Jr. Professor of Politics, Law and
Philosophy at Carleton College where he taught for 30 years. Dr.
Zuckert took his undergraduate degree at Cornell University, subsequently
receiving his M.A. and Ph.D. from the University of Chicago.
He is the author
of over fifty articles and book chapters spanning several subfields
within the discipline of political science, including the History
of Political Philosophy, Politics and Literature, Constitutional
Law, and American Political Thought. Professor Zuckert has authored
four books, with five others currently under contract or in preparation.
To date, he has published Natural Rights and the New Republicanism
(Princeton 1994), The Natural Rights Republic (Notre Dame 1996),
and Launching Liberalism: John Locke and the Liberal Tradition (Kansas
2002). Protestantism and the American Founding (Notre Dame 2004)
is scheduled for release this year. Dr. Zuckert’s Natural
Rights Republic has so far given rise to two separate edited collections
of essays responding to the claims he raised in his book.
In addition
to his record of scholarly publication, Professor Zuckert has won
several N.E.H. grants to bring important aspects of the American
Founding to a larger public. He co-authored “Mr. Adams and
Mr. Jefferson,” a nine-part radio play based on their correspondence,
as well as serving as lead scholar for “Liberty: The American
Revolution,” a series produced for public television. Zuckert
was also advisor for “Franklin” a recent public television
series. He is currently serving as lead scholar for a new series
on Alexander Hamilton, and as a consultant for another series on
the Bill of Rights. Zuckert has also directed (with his wife Catherine)
two N.E.H. Summer Seminars for Secondary School Teachers.
