Editors' Note
Upon first glance, the works published in this volume of Policy Perspec-
tives may appear to have little in common. These articles, book reviews, and
interviews cover a diverse range of topics, including the Social Security sys-
tem, nuclear weapons, and food truck regulations. Some of these pieces offer
quantitative analyses, while others take a qualitative approach. Some examine
subjects that are close to home, such as affordable housing in Washington, DC,
while others address issues that other communities face, such as employment
outcomes among Ecuadorian women.
However, these works share an interest in addressing matters of public
concern effectively and efficiently. In so doing, they call on decision-makers to
think critically about the public policies that affect our lives. The scholarship
presented in Volume 22 is also representative of the wide range of issues that
Trachtenberg School faculty, students, and alumni care about and focus on in
their research and careers.
Volume 22 of Policy Perspectives is a testament to the intellectual diver-
sity found at the Trachtenberg School, and it could not have been brought to
fruition without the hard work and dedication of the editorial staff. Our As-
sociate Editors-Rebecca Duberstein, Amanda Fioritto, Wendy Noelle Forbes,
Monika Jansen, Marisa B. Kanof, Andrew Pike, and Meghan J. Wolfe-con-
ducted multiple in-depth reviews of the articles featured in this volume of
Policy Perspectives. Odia B. Cisse, Julian Hoffman, Andrew Kim, and Mathew
Vicknair-our Senior Associate Editors-polished Volume 22's book reviews
and provided excellent support in the final stages of the editorial process. The
efforts of the editorial staff consistently exceeded our expectations, and we
could not have produced this journal without their assistance.
We would also like to express our gratitude to Kathryn Newcomer, our
Faculty Advisor; the Trachtenberg School professors who served as Faculty
Reviewers; and Amber Palmer-Halma and Dolsy Smith, who provided invalu-
able assistance with Policy Perspectives' online presence, design, and distribu-
tion. Serving as Editors-in-Chief of Volume 22 of Policy Perspectives was a great
honor, and we look forward to seeing what Policy Perspectives has in store for
Volume 23 and for years to come.
