Description
The PPE Research Consortium is administered by the Philosophy, Politics, and Economics Society with support from the John Templeton Foundation. It supports teams combining insights and methods from more than one of philosophy, political science, and economics, broadly construed, to address questions important to human flourishing, individual liberty, and prosperity.
The Consortium seeks both to expand the community of PPE scholars and to build a collection of research and teaching resources. Outputs may include articles, books, anthologies, policy memos, pedagogical materials, podcasts, and other public-facing media. Outputs must reflect the benefits of teamwork but need not be co-authored or co-produced. Excellent PPE research on any topic is welcome.
