Graduate Students Discuss “Liberty and Liberal Education”

On April 22 – 25, graduate students invited by the Intercollegiate Studies Institute met at the Kirk Center for a conference on “Liberty and Liberal Education,” co-sponsored by Liberty Fund, Inc. They examined the connection between liberty and liberal education, with an emphasis on the history and theory of education and its relationship to political life. Readings explored the relationship between liberal education and liberty in the Western tradition, culminating with two sessions specifically on education in the United States. 

Dr. David Whalen of Hillsdale College facilitated the discussion for the fifteen participants who represented universities including Harvard University, The University of Wisconsin, Georgetown University, Marquette University, The Catholic University of America, the University of Dallas, and the University of Delaware.
