The Journal of Liberty and Society Faculty Committee is an innovation stemming from the journal’s second edition. This international committee brings together leading scholars on the issue of liberty in a diversity of fields. In addition to guiding the growth of the journal, members of the Faculty Committee will review submitted papers to the Journal of Liberty and Society to provide an experienced scholar’s input in addition to the traditional peer reviews that the journal provides.
