I encourage you to check out The Point magazine’s Summer Workshop on public thinking and writing (co-sponsored by The Point and the Parrhesia Program for Public Discourse at the University of Chicago). This fully-funded, two-week program is designed for undergraduate students interested in journalism, criticism, politics, art, and nonprofit who want to learn about and practice engaging the public through dialogue and writing. This year’s workshop on “The Future” will be taught by Point editors Jon Baskin and Anastasia Berg and take place August 7-18, 2023 at UChicago. Applications are due March 1, 2023.

If you’re interested in learning more, people from The Point will be hosting info sessions on Wednesday, January 25, 2023 and Thursday, February 2, 2023, both at 3pm EST. Register here. You can also contact workshop coordinator Jess Swoboda with questions at publicthinking@uchicago.edu.
