Harvard Inequality and Social Policy: Summer

SUMMER

The Multidisciplinary Program in Inequality & Social Policy regularly hosts two summer programs: the Inequality Summer Institute for senior scholars and the Galbraith Scholars program for undergraduates.

The Inequality Summer Institute, generally held biennially in June, is a 2-3 day research workshop at Harvard University for program faculty, doctoral fellows, National Fellows, and other senior scholars to explore emerging research on issues of inequality and social policy. Although not held in 2008-09, materials from past programs are available on-line.

Professor John Kenneth Galbraith and the 2004 Galbraith Scholars

The Galbraith Scholars program is a unique summer opportunity designed to cultivate a diverse new generation of scholars and leaders who aspire to apply themselves to some of our nation's most pressing social problems. Those selected for the program receive full fellowships to attend a special five-day session of seminars and workshops at Harvard University.

Note: We are very sorry to report that the Galbraith Scholars program is not being offered in 2009. We hope to be able to resume the program in a future year. Interested students may wish to keep in mind other programs offered elsewhere that are similarly designed for undergraduates with interests in public policy and the social sciences.
