The Berkeley Liberty Initiative
For more than a decade, the Berkeley Liberty Initiative (BLI) has promoted the diversity of perspectives at UC Berkeley. The Ambassador Frank E. Baxter Lecture that the BLI hosts annually enriches the university’s intellectual life by hosting leading thinkers whose expertise and scholarship focus on the ideal of freedom in political and economic life.
BLI invites proposals from UC Berkeley faculty for small grants up to $6,000 to adapt an undergraduate Letters & Science (L&S) course to be taught in the Spring 2027. The grant aims to expose UC Berkeley students to an open exchange of ideas and support their ability to engage constructively across differing viewpoints. Applications are due via this google form on Sunday, December 6 at midnight PT.
