The 2013 Conference will be held at the Mason Inn on the campus of George Mason University in Fairfax, Virginia on August 16-18, 2013, and we are recruiting promising undergraduate or graduate students. Applications are now available and are due on Friday, June 21, 2013.
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.
If you have someone in mind, please have the student complete the an application. Note that applicants need one letter of recommendation and a personal statement. They may include the recommendation letter with the application or have it sent separately. Space is limited to 30 students. A $250.00 stipend is available for students to help defray travel costs. Meals for all participants and rooms for the students will be provided by the conference.
