Free Trade: Academic and Policy Perspectives

Overview

How is the conversation around free trade different in academic and policy spaces?

The Institute for Humane Studies and Stand Together Trust are convening this symposium to explore differences in how free trade and trade policy are discussed within academic circles and policy-making arenas in Washington, DC, and to examine how academics and policy experts can utilize each other’s expertise to advance the conversation on trade.

The program precedes the Southern Economics Association (SEA) annual meeting in Washington, DC. IHS will offer a stipend to offset one night of hotel accommodations for non-local attendees. We encourage you to apply for this opportunity if you have research interests in this area.
