Heterodox Academy
Events
Heterodox Academy and its affiliate communities host regular virtual and live events throughout the year. Find an event and join in on the discussion.
Events are a core way in which our principles of open inquiry, viewpoint diversity, and constructive disagreement are modeled for members of the academic community and the public. We host regular virtual event discussions with opportunities for registrants to ask questions to the panelists. Our Campus Communities host regular in-person and virtual events, including our newest Heterodox Conversations. And our HxCommunities host regular virtual discussions, conferences, and in-person socials.
Nearly all events, virtual or live, will be recorded and posted on our YouTube channel following the event. Questions? Please contact us about our events, inquiries about accessibility, or requests for accommodations.
