Now in its third year, the Drexel Summer Theory Institute is a workshop for students completing summer public interest law internships in the greater Philadelphia area. Modeled after a similar program at Harvard Law, the institute connects fellows with co-conveners for weekly discussions of works of social and critical theory related to the students’ public interest work.
The Summer Theory Institute involves a significant but not overwhelming commitment on the part of the fellows, who are required to attend all 10 evening sessions, prepare for each meeting ahead of time, write short response papers to the readings, participate in the discussions and lead one week’s discussion.
While no academic credit is granted, the institute may be able to link fellows interested in reflecting more formally on the relationship between theory and practice in their summer public interest experiences to Drexel faculty willing to supervise larger writing projects for academic credit.
This summer, the co-conveners are Professor Anil Kalhan, Ryan Hancock (civil rights attorney with the Pennsylvania Human Relations Commission) and Arianna Freeman (attorney with the Capital Habeas Unite of the Federal Community Defender Office for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania).
