In June 2010 the second volume of the Journal of Liberty and Society was published. This peer- and professor-reviewed academic journal accepts papers from all disciplines and all perspectives related to liberty. The journal has continued the tradition developed during its inaugural year of providing papers that cover a diverse range of topics from the government’s distortion of scientific research to a Kantian outline of Liberty. The Journal of Liberty and Society is an unparalleled tool to support student development of the intellectual underpinnings of liberty.
The Prometheus Institute Prizes are special awards given by the Prometheus Institute that recognize authors who demonstrate the most innovative approaches to promoting the ideas of liberty. These prizes are intended to discover and reward the most creative young thinkers and writers in the movement. The Top Paper in the Journal of Liberty and Society received $500. The Honorable Mention received $100. All three winners were invited to join the Prometheus Institute staff for the Fall 2010 semester; positions are available in writing, blogging, outreach or development.
