Political Theory Project; Brown University
ONTHE
SPECTRE OF INTELLECTUAL PLURALISM
Brown University, long one of our nation's most prestigious universities, is now a proving ground for the attempt to
return real intellectual pluralism to American campuses. Under its founding director, Professor John Tomasi, Brown's
"Political Theory Project" strives to invigorate the school's intellectual debate through a variety of initiatives, including
expanding the curriculum to embrace courses that fall outside of today's traditional campus offerings.
Our guest speaker, Dr. Tomasi, will provide a firsthand account of how the Political Theory Project is reshaping
Brown's culture and inspiring students to contemplate alternative ways of thinking that are currently lacking in academia.
This event is sponsored by the newly formed Center for the American University at the Manhattan Institute.
The Center, through its VERITAS Fund, plans both to identify and to fund university professors committed to
establishing centers of excellence that will expand intellectual pluralism at American universities.
