Institute for Human Studies Summer Seminars (Deadline: March 31, 2014)
Learn about the ideas that fight oppression and change the world—apply to attend an IHS Summer Seminar
IHS Summer Seminars stretch your mind and explore the notions of liberty, drawn from the classical liberal intellectual tradition, while inviting you to look at the world and your future plans with the cause of freedom in mind.
During each seminar, you’ll be engaged by lectures from leading scholars drawing on history, economics, philosophy, public policy, law, and a wide variety of professional experiences.
Each seminar is designed to raise big questions, foster in-depth discussions, and create opportunities to connect with people from around the world who believe in liberty. And you’ll walk away with a deeper understanding of liberty, new career possibilities, and a multidisciplinary network.
What’s more, through the IHS Summer Seminars you’ll gain valuable career and intellectual skills. Learn not to take anything for granted but rather, continue to challenge the status quo.
Finally, you’ll find it’s also a great time to make long-lasting friendships with bonds on the ideas of freedom that will last a lifetime.
Our different offerings of seminars are designed to challenge you, wherever you are on your path to liberty.
This summer, IHS has outstanding seminars designed to meet everyone’s needs whether you’re just getting your feet wet or ready to take on advanced challenges to liberty. For more information on each please follow these links:
