IHS supports professors to promote the teaching and research of classical liberal ideas, and encourages open inquiry.
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.

Eric Alston: Principles, Not Fear, Should Shape Digital Governance For centuries, literature has warned us about the impact of technology, but these fears can stifle innovation and progress. Eric Alston, scholar in residence in finance at the University of Colorado Boulder and expert in digital governance, argues for a principle-based approach to embrace technological advancements while ensuring consumer protection. In our newest blog, Alston discusses the importance of innovation, the pitfalls of heavy-handed regulation, and the relevance of classical liberal ideas in today’s digital age. “Regulation does not prevent harm, it breeds it,” he notes, emphasizing that a balanced approach is crucial. Curious to learn more? Join us on August 19 for a one-hour virtual Crucial Conversation with Eric Alston, hosted by the Institute for Humane Studies. Dive deep into the discussion on how to protect consumers and promote innovation. https://lnkd.in/ehYEpRQj

Is equality truly a weakness, or is it a foundation of strength and justice? In the latest installment of our “Why Liberalism” series with Persuasion Community, Jeffery Tyler Syck challenges the misconceptions about liberalism and equality. Contrary to right-wing critiques, the liberal commitment to equality fosters a just and flourishing society. As Syck argues, “Equality doesn’t make us weak; it makes us morally demanding and noble.” Explore the profound impact of liberal egalitarianism on modern society, its historical roots, and why defending these principles is essential for a thriving future. Read the full blog to understand why equality is not just a value but a strength. #WhyLiberalism #Equality #LiberalValues #Persuasion https://lnkd.in/e7R7-3DS

Jonathan Rauch's latest contribution to the "Why Liberalism" series—a collaboration between Persuasion Community and the Institute for Humane Studies—offers a compelling defense of the enduring relevance of liberalism. In his essay, Rauch revisits the “end of history” thesis, arguing that despite the multifaceted critiques from across the political spectrum, liberalism continues to be the most successful social technology ever developed, excelling in its ability to foster knowledge, prosperity, freedom, and peace. Rauch delves into the paradox of liberalism's widespread challenges amid its significant achievements. He addresses the critiques from both the left and the right and highlights liberalism’s remarkable successes, such as lifting billions out of poverty and creating a burgeoning global middle class. Rauch emphasizes that the real issue is not liberalism’s failures but rather a failure of nerve among liberals themselves. For a deeper understanding of why liberalism remains humanity’s best hope, read the full essay here: https://lnkd.in/ewPHWPxQ Want to learn about the modern consequences of abandoning the principles of liberalism? Watch Jonathan Rauch’s enlightening talk on free speech and campus censorship, presented by the Institute for Humane Studies. This video delves into the foundational liberal values that underpin our society and underscores the urgent need to defend them in today's challenging climate. Watch the talk here: https://lnkd.in/ewiuaJ5j Liberalism is more than a political philosophy; it is a framework for a thriving, open society. Let’s reignite our confidence in these enduring principles.
