You are invited, as part of a select group of students, to participate in a discussion colloquium on “Religious Freedom” this spring at George Washington University.
Sponsored by the Institute for Humane Studies, this day-long colloquium will center on informal, yet serious, discussion with just fifteen participants. Dr. Theo Christov and Dr. Sam Goldman will serve as the discussion leaders in order to facilitate an in-depth exploration of the questions and challenges raised by a set of readings (totaling around 150 pages), which we will provide you with and ask you to read carefully in advance. The readings include classical texts on religious freedom from thinkers like Locke and Tocqueville, to more contemporary arguments from John Rawls, to Supreme Court cases like Burwell v. Hobby Lobby.
The event will take place on Saturday March 26, 2016 on the George Washington University campus. Please be sure that your schedule allows you to arrive in time for breakfast, and to be present through the concluding dinner Saturday night. You will be expected to attend the full program, including discussions, meals, and socials. As compensation for your participation, IHS will provide you a $100 stipend.
If you would like to attend this colloquium, please accept your invitation as soon as possible. This is a very small, select group of students and space is limited.
We are eager to embark on this intellectual adventure with you. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact Professor Christov at christov@gwu.edu.
