Americans are losing faith in our election system. Something needs to change to preserve our democratic republic. IHS Fellow Andy Craig’s article on MSNBC explains how the Electoral Count Reform Act is designed to safeguard US presidential elections. With its first real test coming in 2024, the ECRA strengthens election procedures and ensures disputes are settled in court—not Congress. Read the full article here: https://lnkd.in/eMME3vrP

About us
The Institute for Humane Studies supports and partners with professors to promote the teaching and research of classical liberal ideas, and to advance higher education’s core purpose of intellectual discovery and human progress. At IHS, we believe the principles of the classical liberal tradition – including individual liberty and responsibility, limited government, economic freedom, the rule of law, free speech, and open inquiry – are the foundation of a just, peaceful, and prosperous world. We believe for those ideas to take root, they must be taught, explored, and challenged in higher education. That’s why IHS has built the foremost network of scholars across the country who are researching and teaching classical liberal ideas. We are a partner throughout their academic careers, offering guidance, resources, and access to a passionate, supportive community. -We facilitate the impact of professors both on and beyond their campuses, convening them to advance their research and partnering with them to run campus programs for students. -We support future professors. Each year, IHS awards more than $1 million in fellowships to hundreds of students from around the world. In addition, we offer an integrated suite of academic career programs including mentoring, research grants, research-development seminars, online resources, and placement support. -Through our work with faculty, we inspire and educate college students. We partner together to offer students intensive summer seminars and on-campus programs throughout the year. From the student just beginning to develop an interest in classical liberal ideas, to the established professor, IHS is a champion for each individual’s intellectual journey – and together we are partners for a free and open society.

“When institutions of higher learning are governed by liberal principles, intellectual openness, toleration for dissent, and a default posture that favors humility and curiosity over the arrogance of dogmatism become the norm,” says IHS President & CEO Emily Chamlee-Wright in Profectus Magazine’s recent article, “Fixing Higher Education.” In this roundtable article, Emily joins several thought leaders in sharing perspectives on how to address the challenges facing higher education in America. These diverse perspectives suggest a multifaceted approach to improving higher education, focusing on affordability, intellectual diversity, structural reform, and renewed emphasis on intellectual curiosity.

How did the Ancient Greek concept of “parrhesia” influence America's First Amendment? In her insightful essay for the "Why Liberalism" series, Teresa M. Bejan, professor of political theory at Oxford, examines the historical roots of free speech, tracing it from the democratic ideals of Athens through to the fearless speech practices of Quakers. Bejan argues that parrhesia—frank speech without fear or favor—is crucial to understanding America’s distinctive commitment to free speech and what we risk losing as tolerance for offensive speech declines.
