The Brown Journal of Philosophy, Politics, and Economics (JPPE) is a peer reviewed journal for undergraduate and graduate students. We publish twice per academic year. The JPPE aims to promote intellectual rigor, original scholarship, and interdisciplinary understanding. By publishing works across three disciplines, the JPPE attempts to unite fields that are too often partitioned into a single discourse. In doing so, the JPPE aims to produce a product greater than the sum of any of its parts.
