About the Heinz Journal
The Heinz Journal is a student conceived and student-run publication dedicated to showcasing the link between analysis and theory and policy implementation. The Journal seeks to fill a crucial gap in depicting research in a manner approachable by public policy practitioners and policy makers.
The Heinz Journalwas originally conceived of at a meeting of students and program administrators of the Heinz College at Carnegie Mellon University. An exploratory committee of six students was established to investigate the creation of a policy journal that reflects the School’s reputation for leveraging applications driven theory. Thanks to founding members Erin Dalton, Maricela Flores, Juniper Leherissey, Michael Niemeyer, Tim Weidemann and Candice Wright this idea is coming to fruition.
The Heinz Journal offers a medium to showcase the quality work product of its students, faculty, alumni and other public policy professionals and scholars.
