"Libertarianism in the Era of Republican National Conservatism"

(Open to Current UChicago Students Only)

Thursday, May 13th, 12-1pm CT

According to Ronald Reagan, "the very heart and soul of conservatism is libertarianism." Of course, he said that in 1975. Was it true then? With the rise of national conservatism within the Republican Party, is there still a place for libertarianism within the broader conservative movement? We'll discuss these questions and more as we explore how libertarians can best effect political change now and in the future.

Special Guest: Jane Coaston, host & editor of "The Argument" podcast at The New York Times; former senior politics reporter at Vox focusing on conservatism and the Republican Party; former Pritzker Fellow at the University of Chicago Institute of Politics

Pritzker Fellows seminars are off the record and open to current UChicago students only. A Zoom link will be sent to your UChicago email address 60 minutes prior to the seminar start time. If you have any questions about accessibility, please contact Ashley Jorn (ashleyjorn@uchicago.edu). Capacity is limited in order to allow for discussion. If necessary, attendance will be determined via lottery; however, all registered UChicago students will have the opportunity to observe seminars. Observers will be moved into the discussion if space allows. We encourage observers to sign up for office hours; Fellows will answer any questions you're unable to ask in seminars.
