The 2012 Public Choice Outreach Conference will be held at the Mason Inn on the campus of George Mason University in Fairfax, Virginia, on August 10-13, 2012. Applications are now available and are due on Friday, June 22, 2012. Applicants need to include one letter of recommendation and a personal statement. Space is limited to 30 student participants. (Students who are accepted will be notified directly.)
The Public Choice Outreach Conference is a compact lecture series designed for students planning careers in academia, journalism, law, or public policy. Past attendees have included many future notables such as economists Thomas Nechyba and Paul Zak, political scientist Daniel Drezner and law professor Sasha Volokh. Graduate students and advanced undergraduates are eligible to apply. Students majoring in economics, history, international studies, law, philosophy, political science, psychology, public administration, religious studies, and sociology have attended past conferences. Any advanced degree student with a demonstrated interest in political economy is invited to apply. Applicants unfamiliar with Public Choice and students from outside of George Mason University are especially encouraged.
Meals for all participants and rooms for the non-GMU and non-local students will be provided by the conference.
