Cambridge Institute for Dialectical Studies

Introductory text (below the title): The Cambridge Institute for Dialectical Studies (CIDS) is an independent social studies institute based in New York City. The institute offers programs, colloquia, workshops and publications to endorse dialectical thought (dispassionate consideration of opposite arguments) and interdisciplinary approach (blending analytical tools, assumptions and priorities from different fields of study).1

CIDS dedicates its work to celebrate and sustain the intellectual legacy of [|Amartya K. Sen], Thomas W. Lamont University Professor and Professor of Economic Philosophy at Harvard University, and the winner of the Nobel Memorial Prize in Economic Sciences in 1998.

Board
The CIDS brings together a number of renowned scholars from Harvard University including W. Hugh Woodin (philosophy and mathematics), Robert Brustein (English and drama), Jeffrey K. McDonough (philosophy),2 Eric Beerbohm (government and social studies)3 and Russell Edward Jones (philosophy).4

CIDS is also supported by ten junior scholars from Harvard University as fellows.

Offerings
The CIDS offers activities in five main tracks: . Colloquia . Training programs . Workshops . Conferences . Publications

Activities conform to dialectical methodology. Research works are required to present argumentation for opposing convictions, and instructional works involve class content designed around the idea of pluralist curriculum.
