    Academic Forum

    ISPP developed an academic discussion platform that allows scholars to engage in conversations on various topics and link them to academic components from ISPP courses and workshops.

Faculty members can access the platform to engage with scholars, respond to questions, and address issues outside the class.

    ISPP believes that scholars should be participants, not mere consumers, in their studies. The institution expects scholars to graduate with specialized knowledge of a policy area, a broad understanding of current policy issues, and skills applicable in diverse contexts and roles.
