Program areas at FPRI

Research: fpri is dedicated to producing the highest quality scholarship and nonpartisan Policy analysis focused on crucial Foreign Policy and national security challenges facing the united states. We educate those who make and influence Policy, as well as the public at large, through the lens of history, geography, and culture. Fpri has six main Research programs: america and the west, east asia, eurasia, the middle east, national security, and africa.
Publications: fpri sponsors and publishes a wide array of articles, papers, books, e-books, and other publications for policymakers, educators, and the general public. These include: orbis: fpri's journal of world affairs, as well as regular analysis and longer special reports on international affairs and national security. Fpri also provides access to and distributes audio-visual materials, including podcasts on media and streaming services such as itunes and spotify, and short topical videos and recordings of past events on fpri's youtube channel. Fpri's Research programs also publish special reports and multimedia products.
Lectures & seminars: fpri hosts numerous events throughout the year, such as briefings, book talks, and lectures on all aspects of Foreign affairs and national security. These lectures and seminars include regular series in philadelphia and its suburbs, princeton, new york city, miami, and Washington, dc; annual lectures, such as the ginsburg-satell lecture on american identity and character, and the templeton lecture on religion and world affairs; and special events,such as the fpri annual dinner during which the benjamin franklin award for public service is awarded to a statesman, scholar, or soldier who best embodies the ideals of fpri. Past awardees include henry kissinger, robert d. kaplan, general james mattis, general michael hayden, ash carter, and general h.r. Mcmaster.
Education: the historical literacy project: in 2019, fpri launched the historical literacy project to develop a world history curriculum that brings historians' debates into high school classrooms. The curriculum emphasizes literacy and critical analysis and makes rigorous scholarly materials accessible to high school students in diverse school settings. In each lesson, materials from historians' books and essays are presented as brief texts. Students receive a central question and examples of at least two competing answers proposed by historians. The units invite students to read closely, explore compelling questions in world history, and analyze competing historical arguments and evidence. The curriculum has been tested experimentally and in classrooms with over 350 students. It is pedagogically robust, classroom-ready, and easily adaptable for diverse classrooms and online teaching. The curriculum is paired with learning sessions for high school history teachers. These sessions range from 60-minute live and recorded webinars to 2 to 3-day live workshops with follow-up classroom applications. These sessions support teachers interested in teaching with the historical literacy curriculum.civic education: building on twenty years of work with high school teachers, fpri's education program provides civic education to students. This program includes partnerships with local schools and the development of materials aimed at school audiences that enrich young people's understanding of the institutions and ideas that shape american political life. Through multimedia primers and educational simulations that teach students about the founding of our country and its institutions, fpri is playing an important role in educating the next generation of citizens not only in philadelphia but nationally.
Africa: africa program seeks to inform and educate Policy makers, business leaders, and the american public on the diversity and complexity of the african continent.
