In 2019, FPRI launched a new initiative that focuses on teaching critical thinking skills through historical inquiry in high school classrooms. Our goal is to create a World History curriculum that can expand students’ capacity for critical and independent thinking and competent democratic citizenship. Alongside the curriculum, we are developing a professional development program to support teaching of the curriculum in diverse school settings in the Philadelphia region.

Orbis®, the Foreign Policy Research Institute‘s quarterly journal of world affairs, was founded in 1957 as a forum for policymakers, scholars, and the informed public who sought an engaging, thought-provoking debate beyond the predictable, conventional journals of that time. Nearly half a century later, Orbis continues to offer informative, insightful, and lively discourse on the full range of topics relating to American foreign policy and national security, as well as in-depth analysis on important international developments.
