I never worked harder than I did in the summer of 2016 at the John Locke Institute‘s summer seminars in France. One day I gave nine hour-long lectures, and had several more hours interacting with students throughout the day. But it was great fun; the students were full of curiosity and enthusiasm, and candor ran high. And the reason I gave so many lectures was that every class was very small – often just five students.
This year, COVID policy permitting, I’m rejoining the John Locke Institute’s summer program. Now, however, both seminars are in Oxford. I’ll be doing the Politics, Philosophy, and Economics Summer School from July 18-31, followed by the Humanities Conference from August 12-21. (Bonus: My sons will be math econ tutors). In between, we’ll be touring the UK.
If you’re interested in attending, please apply now. And if you’d like to meet up in Oxford or elsewhere in the UK, let’s try to make it happen!

I hope you enjoy your time in the UK! Pierre Victoire does the best french food in Oxford. Magdalen college has the nicest parks to walk around, and if you have any contacts there, try see if you can climb the tower.
If you’ve not been to Bath before, that’s easy to reach from Oxford/London and is a fun city to visit. You can do the sights in a day and eat at the Scallop Shell which is one of the highest rated fish & chip restaurants in the UK.

I am so disappointed I can’t go to the summer school due to age restrictions, would love to know if you are doing any meetups in London, Oxford or elsewhere in the UK! Also if you are doing any talks open to the general public or to Cambridge University alumni, I would gladly come!
Enjoy your time in the UK (hopefully – I think you should be able to come in any case as you are travelling for work/education purposes)! Oxford is incredibly beautiful in summer, you should have a great time.
