The Morningside Post is the student-run blog for Columbia University’s School of International and Public Affairs. Established in 2004, TMP has become a leading blog among graduate schools of international affairs and public policy in the United States, read in more than 120 countries around the world. We aim to foster the debate you didn’t have in class and to feature the most passionate and inquisitive voices in the SIPA community and beyond.
