American Political Science Association
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The American Political Science Association (APSA) is an organization dedicated to political science. It was founded in 1903. APSA publishes three journals: American Political Science Review, Perspectives on Politics, and PS: Political Science & Politics and is headquartered in Washington, DC. There are 35 organized sections of APSA organized around research themes. Dianne Pinderhughes of the University of Notre Dame is the current APSA president. U.S. President Woodrow Wilson was APSA President in 1911.
APSA's headquarters at 1527 New Hampshire Avenue NW in Washington, DC is a historic structure that was the home of Harry Garfield, son of assassinated U.S. President James Garfield. It includes the Centennial Center for Political Science and Public Affairs, which provides conference and research space for scholars, and periodically sponsors seminars and events for political scientists, policy makers, the media, and the general public.
APSA presents many awards each year, including the Woodrow Wilson Foundation Award for "the best book on government, politics, or international affairs." Sponsored by the Woodrow Wilson Foundation at Princeton University, it includes a cash prize of $5,000.
The annual APSA meeting is the world's largest gathering of political scientists and occurs on Labor Day weekend each summer. The 2007 meeting in Chicago, IL drew 6,900 participants.
