Spring Break

Starting this week, we’re taking a short spring break, but don’t worry—we’ll return in two weeks, April 3rd to be more precise, with more great conversations. In the meantime, why not use this break to spark your creativity? Along with our break, we wanted to announce The Henry George School of Social Science 2025 Writing and Video Contests are officially open! This is your chance to dive into big ideas, challenge perspectives, and share your voice. Whether you’re a writer or a visual storyteller, there’s a category for you. Plus, there are cash prizes—so why not give it a shot?There is a writing and video contest, with separate competitions between high school and college students. The collegiate contest is for both undergraduate and graduate students. First, second, and third place will receive a prize of $1000, $750, and $500 respectively. The high school prizes will be worth $550, $350, and $200. All submissions should be original, unpublished, and not repurposed. Topics for your submission include, but are not limited to, monopolies, antitrust, land-value taxation, and inequality. The winners will be judged based on depth of analysis, originality, quality of research, and conciseness.
