Seminars

The Classical Liberalism seminar series is open to faculty of different backgrounds and perspectives, spanning the arts, sciences, and humanities, who are willing to debate ideas and policy issues with rigor, even when doing so may challenge orthodoxy. 

Classical liberalism seminars are held bi-weekly on Thursdays at 10:30 am PT. 

For general inquiries or to be added to the invite list, contact Iván Marinovic. If you would like to be added to the email list, please complete this form.
