The Institute for Anarchist Studies (IAS), a nonprofit foundation established in 1996 to support the development of anarchism, is primarily a grant-giving organization for radical writers. Our aim is to promote critical scholarship that explores social domination and reconstructive visions of a free society. To date, we have funded almost sixty projects by authors from countries around the world, including Argentina, Canada, New Zealand, Lebanon, Chile, Ireland, Nigeria, Mexico, the Philippines, Germany, Uruguay, South Africa, the Czech Republic, and the United States. In addition to organizing projects like the Renewing the Anarchist Tradition (RAT) conference and the Radical Theory Track at the National Conference on Organized Resistance (NCOR), we also publish a biannual magazine, Perspectives on Anarchist Theory, to cultivate community among those interested in the development of anarchism and offer a "Mutual Aid" list of IAS speakers available for public talks. The IAS is part of a larger movement to radically transform society as well. We are internally democratic and work in solidarity with people around the globe who share our values.
