APSA Election Reflections

2020 APSA Election Reflections

Prior to the 2020 election, APSA’s Diversity and Inclusion Programs Department issued a call for submissions for a PS Now series entitled 2020 APSA Election Reflections. 

Election reflections are scholarly reflections, original research notes, and classroom exercises that shed light upon political behavior, public opinion and the 2020 Campaign and Election season. Submissions addressed the 2020 local, state, or national campaigns and elections.

The call for submissions was especially interested in featuring content that addresses the political behavior and public opinion of individuals from the following groups: underrepresented racial and ethnic groups, women, individuals with disabilities, first-generation Americans, the Indigenous community, and the LGBTQ community. We also welcomed submissions that included reflections on race, power, governance, social injustice and oppression in relation the 2020 election season. The views expressed in this series are those of the authors and contributors alone and do not represent the views of the APSA.

Stay tuned for the next reflection!  APSA will share selected submissions online in the weeks following the 2020 Elections. Please email any questions about this call to diversityprograms@apsanet.org.
