HxA’S MISSION & VISION
Our Mission
Heterodox Academy is a non-partisan, non-profit organization committed to improving research and
education in colleges and universities by advancing open inquiry, viewpoint diversity, and constructive
disagreement.
Our Vision
We aspire to create college classrooms and campuses that welcome diverse people with diverse viewpoints
and that equip learners with the habits of heart and mind to engage that diversity in open inquiry and
constructive disagreement. We seek an academy eager to welcome professors, students, and speakers who
approach problems and questions from different points of view, explicitly valuing the role such diversity
plays in advancing the pursuit of knowledge, the exposure of falsehoods, discovery, growth, and innovation.
