Eduardo Velasquez -- Visiting Scholar-in-Residence at Liberty Fund, Inc.

Eduardo will be in-residence at Liberty Fund from August 2002-August 2003. This fellowship is by invitation only. His work will involve much travel, attending Liberty Fund colloquia throughout the USA and abroad. These colloquia are usually composed of fifteen scholars, professionals, and teachers from around the world, gathering for a long weekend to discuss texts related to questions of liberty and responsibility. His own work will focus on questions about the meaning and status of love in modern times. Some of this work will involve discussions of books, movies, and contemporary literature. The latter includes children's literature, the most salient of which is the Harry Potter series by JK Rowling.
