want to Share your work?

We welcome applications from School of Public Policy students, alumni, or faculty, along with current policy practitioners and industry leaders. The purpose of this blog is to make high-level policy research accessible to the general public. To submit, please visit the contact section or send us an email at yycpolicy@gmail.com. To that end, posts should be:

• Between 500-1000 words.

• Accessible, but also original. This means that we expect you to reference your sources, and back up your claim with empirical evidence. We used hyperlinked footnotes in all of our publications; however, we don't want an academic article, so don't make it too footnote-heavy. We like it when you link to other articles, or debate other policy writers (see U of T's policy website).

• We're flexible with our house style guide. So don't worry too much about whether you use Chicago, APA, or MLA.

• Everybody likes pictures. Please include graphs and images where you can, to engage us and other readers. Please only use original or cited content.

• Photographers, we welcome donated photos of the YYC landscape or anything related to our policy topics (see the main navigation bar). The higher the resolution, the better.

• Radio broadcasters, if you have any brilliant podcast ideas, let us know!
