Founded in 1994 by the Thomas Jefferson Foundation, Inc.—the private, nonprofit organization that has owned and operated Monticello since 1923—the ICJS has created a network of scholars, teachers, and students who engage a global audience in a dialogue with Jefferson’s ideas. Through a fellowship program, international scholarly conferences, panel discussions, teacher workshops, lectures, and curriculum-based tours, the ICJS establishes relationships with people from around the world. As a safety measure during the COVID-19 pandemic, the ICJS has put online their regular programs usually offered in-person.
Using the links below you'll find both our upcoming and previous online programs. Virtual programs at the ICJS are free, unless specified otherwise. For more information regarding ICJS programs, please contact Whitney Pippin (Scholarly Programs Coordinator) at wpippin@monticello.org.
