Since 1991, the Institute has published papers, lectures and scripts by Fellows as part of our Occasional Papers. Previously only produced in limited print runs, we can now offer fully accessible PDF versions to download and enjoy, thanks to the tireless work of undergraduate intern Jana Phillips. Papers available include selections from the 2009 Dialogues with Darwin series, highlights from 2011's Dialogues with Hume, and papers by alumni such as the former Minister of Foreign Affairs for Belarus Ivan Antonovich and the former Governor-General of Australia Sir Ninian Stephen.
