Welcome to Pubpoli Journal, the independent policy magazine led by students and alumni of the School of Public Policy and Global Affairs (SPPGA) at the University of British Columbia.

Our contributors submit articles, podcasts, and other works that discuss policy issues across the world, including sustainability, foreign policy, and international development. While being critical and respectful, we encourage anyone to join our conversation and engage with us.

Aside from our diverse array of policy insights, Pubpoli Journal is also the home of the MPPGA Student and Alumni Associations. We support our fellow colleagues in professional development, lead relevant initiatives and events, and connect with the greater UBC community.

Although Pubpoli Journal is currently active, our publication is in a state of expansion and transition to a new website by Fall 2025. To guide this process, a Steering Committee has been established that includes both students and alumni:
