Self-Governance and Pluralism in Divided Times

Overview

How can federalism and subsidiarity promote self-governance and pluralism while mitigating partisan animosity?

The Institute for Humane Studies, in collaboration with the Center for Governance and Markets at the University of Pittsburgh, invites faculty and practitioners to consider how a renewal of federalism and subsidiarity might strengthen self-governance, reduce partisan animosity, and sustain peaceful pluralism in the United States.

Join us to discuss cutting-edge research, network with others working on these issues, and explore opportunities for new projects and collaborations to drive policy change.

The symposium opens at 4:00 PM Eastern Time on Thursday, April 24, and concludes by 7:00 PM on Friday, April 25.

For your full participation, IHS will provide a travel stipend and accommodations at the symposium hotel, The Ritz-Carlton, Pentagon City.

If you are a scholar or a practitioner working in this area, we encourage you to apply for this opportunity.
