    Why Public Studies Exists

    When public institutions stop teaching, the public still needs to learn.

    Programs Are Being Cut

    States across the country are eliminating DEI offices, women's studies departments, and ethnic studies programs from public universities. The knowledge they taught didn't become less important — it became less accessible.

    Can't Defund a Website

    Public Studies is free, open, and runs on the internet. No legislature can vote to close it. No governor can sign an executive order against it. It's available to anyone with a browser, anywhere, permanently.

    AI-Powered Learning

    Each course is built on Quarex Living Books — structured chapters with AI-generated questions that make you think critically about the material, just like a university seminar. Except it's free and you can access it at 2 AM.
