Founded in 2016, the Fordham Political Review is Fordham’s only student-run undergraduate publication dedicated exclusively to politics, culture, and more. They seek to provide members with a platform to discuss various political topics of concern and voice their opinions on issues they are passionate about, while also fostering respectful and informed discussion of politics across Fordham’s campuses. In an era of political strife and hyper-partisanship, FPR seeks to publish articles representing a multiplicity of political ideologies, and thus does not align itself with any political ideology.
