The goal of the Murphy Institute Working Group on Public Policy is to foster collaborative research and scholarship in public policy drawing upon the strong intellectual resources that we have at Tulane and among our affiliates.
Established in memory of Charles H. Murphy, Sr. (1870-1954), and inspired by the vision of Charles H. Murphy, Jr. (1920-2002), the Murphy Institute exists to help Tulane faculty and students understand economic, moral, and political problems we all face and think about. More important, it exists to help us understand how these problems have come to be so closely interconnected.
