Policy and passion might not seem like likely companions. Yet we would argue that passion
is what served as the spark for the research and insights you will find within this 27th volume of
Policy Perspectives. It is what brings us to live the Trachtenberg motto, Doing good and doing
it well This year, we've had the pleasure of working with eight authors to express the good they
hope to see and do through the articles they've written. From passion, to analysis, to action: that
is the route that many of these ideas will take as our authors continue to confront complex issues
like those posed in their articles.
The articles featured in Volume 27 offer a diversity of analytical approaches and conclusions
regarding policy issues that span the nation and the globe. These pieces discuss the equity
implications of policies affecting individuals and entire countries; health and education policy;
women's entrepreneurship; and the ever-present concern of obtaining sufficient resources to
ensure a high quality of life for citizens around the globe. For a practical perspective on how our
alumni are tackling issues like these in the real world, we also encourage you to dive into the
insights that alumni Simon McNorton and Abby Walsh shared with us this spring.
The articles in this volume could not be where they are today if not for an incredibly talented
team supporting every step of the editorial process. We are indebted to Associate Editors Jason
Cohn, Lisa DeBone, Katie Howell, Thomas Rachko, Stephanie Silver, Eleanor Thompson, and
Elisa Walker, whose keen eyes were crucial to getting these articles in their best possible form.
We thank this year's Senior Editors, past staff members who eagerly pitched in to see another
volume to success. We are deeply grateful to Reeve Jacobus, Executive Editor of Brief Policy
Perspectives, for his unwavering support, friendship, and calm demeanor, even when we were
less than calm. Finally, we thank our Layout Editor Ellen Wang for always ensuring Policy
Perspectives puts its best face forward over the years.
Staff and faculty across the Trachtenberg School have been instrumental in ensuring the
success of Policy Perspectives this year. Dr. Kathy Newcomer continues to be a longstanding
champion of our efforts and a source of inspiration. We thank Dr. Mary Tschirhart for ensuring
Policy Perspectives maintains a prominent role in the student experience at the Trachtenberg
School. We are grateful to Amber Palma-Halma and Pamela Brown, who answered every
question we had with patience and kindness. Volume 27 - along with all our prior volumes - is
online thanks to Dolsy Smith. Finally, we thank the faculty reviewers for their crucial role in
ensuring that these articles are not only well-written, but theoretically sound.
It has been a privilege and an honor to serve as Editor-in-Chief and Managing Editor of
Volume 27 of Policy Perspectives. We are so proud to share some of the Trachtenberg School's
best work with you and hope you will continue the conversation started in these pages.
