UNC-Duke National Undergraduate PPE Colloquium
February 7 - February 8
The UNC-Duke National Undergraduate PPE Colloquium is an annual two-day event co-hosted by the UNC and Duke PPE Programs. We bring together twenty top PPE students from universities across the country for a series of intensive discussion-based sessions sparked by a collection of important pre-assigned readings. This event gives students a chance to meet and discuss some core ideas and applications of PPE with other highly motivated students as well as program faculty. Recent conferences have focused on ‘constitutions,’ ‘equality’, ‘crime and punishment’, and ‘markets on the margin’.
The Colloquium is held jointly with Duke University, which hosts the event in alternating years. Over the last decade more than 250 students from 20 different programs have attended. During the two-day event, faculty from UNC and Duke lead discussions of classic works, and meet with students informally for meals and social hours to allow the conversation to continue.
