Conservative Studies is three things: (1) the formalized academic field for the study of conservatism, (2) the activist movement to advance the academic field, (3) the ([http://www.conservativestudies.org Conservative Studies]) organization, and (4) the pop culture term for conservative news and opinion.
Conservative Studies as a pop culture term was first popularized by Rush Limbaugh's fictitious "Institute for Advanced Conservative Studies". The formal academic field of Conservative Studies was first pioneered by Dr. Judd Patton in a Seminar in Advanced Conservative Studies at Bellevue University. The [http://www.conservativestudies.org Conservative Studies] organization and activist movement were founded by Danny Oliver.
