Contributions by Scholars of Color Series: NCOBPS 2023
About the Project
This collection of interviews contributes to a continuous project that seeks to amplify the scholarship and contributions of Black, Indigenous, and People of Color to the profession and investigate the history of race and racism in the political science profession. It further builds upon the APSA-Pi Sigma African American Alpha Oral History Project (1988-1994) and is motivated by the McClain Task Force on Systemic Inequality in the Discipline (2022). This project was filmed by Hal Jacobs and conducted and edited by APSA staff. Click on the videos below to watch.
