Our Story

At Starting Points, we take the long view of American politics. Non-partisan and interdisciplinary, we aim to understand American politics by looking before and beyond our current political situation—before to the historical, cultural and intellectual roots of American politics, and beyond to the overarching ideas and guiding ideals of our unique political tradition.

Starting Points was established by the Kinder Institute on Constitutional Democracy in January 2017. We publish weekly articles on important topics in American political thought, law, and history that relate to the ongoing debate that is the United States. As of 2019, the Kinder Institute has partnered with the School of Civil and Economic Thought and Leadership at Arizona State University to support Starting Points going forward.
