Classical Liberalism
Lecture series
What is classical liberalism – and why does it still matter?
Across four public lectures in 2026, this lecture series will explore the intellectual foundations, internal tensions, and lasting significance of classical liberal thought.
Featuring Campion College faculty and invited guest speakers, the series offers an opportunity to examine a tradition that has profoundly shaped modern political and economic life, and to consider its relevance in an age of renewed debate about freedom, authority, and the common good.
This series is hosted by Campion College’s Centre for the Study of the Western Tradition (CSWT). Learn more at www.campion.edu.au/cswt/
