On Feb 20, 2026, the Clough Center will cohost a conference in honor of Ken I. Kersch, who passed away last November. Ken I. Kersch was the Clough Center Director from 2008 to 2012, as well as a Political Science Professor at Boston College, who taught on American conservatism, political thought, constitutional development, and civil liberties.
Kersch was the author of several books, including American Political Thought: An Invitation (Polity, 2021), Conservatives and the Constitution: Imagining Constitutional Restoration in the Heyday of American Liberalism (Cambridge University Press, 2019), and The Supreme Court and American Political Development (co-authored with with Ronald Kahn, University Press of Kansas, 2006).
The conference will coincide with the publication of a special issue of the Journal of American Constitutional History that engages with Kersch’s work in political science, history, and law. You can find the list of speakers and register to attend the event via the link.
The Law School and Political Science departments are co-sponsoring this event.
