14 Points student-run public policy blog launched
MPA students at the Woodrow Wilson School have recently "relaunched" a student-run public policy blog, "14 Points." The title of the blog comes from President Woodrow Wilson's "Fourteen Points" speech given January 8, 1918 before a joint session of Congress. The address focused on U.S involvement in World War I, including fighting for a moral cause and for postwar peace in Europe.
"14 Points" provides an opportunity for Wilson School students to contribute short articles and public policy prescriptions on topics that they care about or have professional experience dealing with. Topics to date have ranged from foreign direct investment in Haiti to cereal manufacturers' manipulative marketing to Islamophobia in the U.S.
"As students we have too few opportunities to share ideas on the topics and current events that matter to us," Jordan Reimer MPA '12, one of the blogs creators, wrote in an opening post. "The goal is for Woos to share their thoughts and recommendations on topics of their interest and expertise, in order to add to the larger public policy discourse and escape the confines of coursework and assignment-writing, which often elide reflection on up-to-the-minute issues in public policy."
The views expressed on the "14 Points" blog site belong to the individual contributors and are not endorsed by the Woodrow Wilson School of Public and International Affairs or Princeton University. |
Please send your event submissions to extaff@princeton.edu by Wednesday at 4:00 p.m. to be included in "The Weeks Ahead."
