Virginia Review of Politics

Club Description

The Virginia Review of Politics, also known as “VROP” (pronounced vee-rop), is an undergraduate political magazine at the University of Virginia. The Review publishes wide-ranging content that aims at a middle ground between undergraduate academic journals and student newspaper opinion sections. We take a broad approach to the term politics – in addition to covering formal and electoral politics, our writers examine arts and literature, science and technology, social movements, public health, the environment, and a host of other topics. In doing so, we seek to prompt discussion among policy wonks and newcomers alike. The Review is an omni-partisan platform, which means that our pieces span a diverse array of intellectual and political backgrounds. By giving students an outlet for creative expression and experimentation, we hope to widen the scope of who is allowed to speak on contemporary affairs. We do not deny that our content is politically charged – in fact, that is one of our defining features. However, the articles we publish are meant to reflect only the opinions of their authors, and not the official stance of the Review.
