Freedom Forums
Freedom Forums, held two or three times per year in locations around the country, are two-day seminars that address the theme, “Freedom and Western Civilization.” Designed for a general audience, the program consists of six lectures by three Hillsdale College faculty members from the departments of politics, history, economics, or English. These lectures offer an introductory overview of the kind of teaching that takes place at Hillsdale.
