Keri Anderson, Student Coordinator for the [1]Institute for Humane
Studies, passes along information about IHS Summer Seminars. I highly
recommend them.
Many students want to add an intellectual component to their summer
without a large time commitment or want to enhance their
internships with additional career advice and networking. The free,
weeklong [2]summer seminars hosted by the Institute for Humane
Studies offer the opportunity to engage in thoughtful conversations
this summer and explore current issues from many perspectives.
There are several seminars that I want to highlight.
Students may be interested in our [3]Liberty & Current Issues
seminar held at Trinity University in Washington, DC, July 18-24
where they will learn about the politics that shape policy. Topics
covered include economic policy, small business regulation,
campaign finance reform, and individual rights. This seminar is
ideal for students considering careers in public policy.
Students may be particularly interested in our [4]Exploring Liberty
seminar which focuses on the historical, economic, and
philosophical foundations of a free society.
Of particular interest to graduate students is the
interdisciplinary [5]Social Change Workshop held at Brown
University from June 13-19. The theme of this year's workshop is
Institutions, Behavior, and Development. Throughout the week the
workshop will be asking both descriptive and normative questions
about the relationship between knowledge, decision-making, and
social, political, and economic institutions.
Participation in the workshop and seminars, including housing and
meals for the weekend seminars, is free. Details about the dates
and locations of all 12 seminars are available at
[6]www.TheIHS.org/seminar. The deadline to apply is March 31.
Also, while I cannot vouch for the seminar personally, the Clemson
Institute for the Study of Capitalism announced that the theme of its
2009 Student Summer Conference is "[7]Ayn Rand's Atlas Shrugged and
the Moral Foundations of Capitalism."
