editor upcoming highlights current issue contributors bios past issues about us home

In Character seeks to illuminate the nature and power of the everyday virtues — and how these virtues shape our vision of the good life.

Each issue will examine a single virtue from different perspectives, bringing together scholars and journalists versed in public policy, the humanities, religion, and the sciences.

In Character aims to foster a deeper appreciation of these virtues within our communities, our families and ourselves.

Three issues are published per year.
