Celebrating 20 Years of the Chicago Policy Review

Announcing Our 20th Anniversary Series

This year, the Chicago Policy Review is celebrating its 20th anniversary, and we want to take this opportunity to look back at some of our incredible accomplishments as the largest student-run policy review in the country. Public policy has always been an integral part of our society, but more and more we see policy taking center stage in our political discourse. This July, for the first time ever, a sitting President, Barack Obama, published a journal article on the Affordable Care Act in the Journal of the American Medical Association. We consider this auspicious timing, as it reinforces the impact of policymaking across social, economic, and political realms. To mark our 20th anniversary, we are publishing a 20-piece series over the course of the next few weeks, beginning with a new brief on the President’s article, followed by our 18 most popular interviews and policy briefs to date, and culminating in an interview with University of Chicago Law School Professor and 2016 Kyoto Prize Laureate, Martha Nussbaum, on the role of emotions in policy making.

Thank you to our readers—more than 120,000 in the last year alone—the Harris School, and the broader University of Chicago community for supporting us and giving us a window into your work, as well as to the hundreds of writers and editors who have devoted their energy and intelligence to ensuring that the Chicago Policy Review flourishes.

Sincerely,
