Do you know any outstanding students or recent grads who might be interested in participating in the Witherspoon Institute’s first summer seminar on Natural Law and Public Affairs? If so, I would be grateful if you would share this announcement with them. I will be teaching the seminar together with Sherif Girgis and Ryan Anderson. It will be held in Princeton, July 16-20, 2014. Students from any college or university in the U.S. or abroad are eligible to apply. The Witherspoon Institute will also be offering seminars this summer on such topics as medical ethics (taught by Dr. Farr Curlin and Prof. Christopher Tollefsen), the moral foundations of law (taught by Profs. Gerard Bradley and John Finnis), and Christianity and metaphysics (taught by Profs. John Haldane and Candace Vogler). For a complete list (and eligibility requirements) please visit the Witherspoon Institute webpage.
