Dr. Wilma Rule researched gender, politics, and electoral systems. Her work appeared in APSR and PS: Political Science and Politics. 

As a direct result of this gift, APSA can increase the size of the prize that the award recipient receives, further encouraging research and publication in the field of women and politics, which is essential to better understanding our complex and rapidly-changing world.

Beryl Radin's gift created the Pracademic Fellowship which places academics in government agencies so they can participate in the experience of joining theory and practice.

Professor Susan Opp served as one of the first Pracademic Fellows in the Office of Policy at the Environmental Protection Agency.


"This Fellowship is a wonderful opportunity for me to fully engage in the public sector in a way that isn’t possible in a University setting. The lessons I will gain will be very valuable for future research, teaching, and advising students." – Susan
