The GW Post

• Editor

  • Jul 2011 - Jan 2015

  I founded The GW Post as an attempt to create a portal for students of politics who wished to expressed their political views. Through the years that the page was active hundreds of students shared their work, we made interviews with known academics about their work and we managed to include book reviews. My work there focused on the maintenance of the webpage, editing articles and research papers as well as taking editorial decisions. The page is still online but it is no longer active.
