Subject: [LSEN] Professors of Liberty
Status: R


  I'm compiling a list of libertarian(-leaning) professors.  These
people could be excellent resources for student clubs: they might be
persuaded to speak at a club event, could refer libertarian students
to the club, etc.

  Some of my references are old and no doubt need to be updated
(eg, I'm not sure if some of them are still alive :-).  You'll notice
plenty of question marks ... I'm not sure how to classify the politics
of the majority of them, and I'm not clear on the field and 
publications of many.

Can you add to this list and/or suggest missing info?  The list is
currently in alphabetical order, but perhaps it would be better to
organize it according to state and university ...

Current format is:
1. Name <email address>
2. University (state or country), Field of study
3. "Claim to Fame" (eg, publications)
4. Political temperament
