Liberty and Society seminar
The CIS Liberty and Society seminar is coming up again. It’s a weekend live-in seminar on classical liberal ideas for university students and recent graduates. It covers political philosophy, economics, law and social policy. It’s a bit like a good blog with high-quality comments - there are lots of opportunities for discussion with the lecturers and other students.
You don’t have to be a classical liberal to attend - a few conservatives and social democrats are good for keeping the debate lively - but you have to be interested in the ideas, do the reading, and of course be civil to everyone.
The next one is in Sydney over the weekend of 11-13 April, with 14 March the deadline for applications. It’s free, and the CIS will also pay most of your travel expenses if you live outside of Sydney and need financial help getting there.
