Public Scholarship Program<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The\u00a0APSA Public Scholarship Program<\/a>\u00a0is a remote fellowship that introduces political science graduate students to the intellectual and practical aspects of presenting academic scholarship to the public. Applications are due October 3rd, 2025.<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

During the fellowship period, fellows focus on producing public-facing summaries of political science research. This involves communicating with journal editors and authors under the supervision of APSA staff. This work is shared via APSA\u2019s blog, politicalsciencenow.com, as well as on APSA social media accounts. Some of fellows\u2019 work will also be published in APSA member magazine, Political Science Today<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Public Scholarship Program was created in collaboration with the APSA Presidential Task Force for New Partnerships.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
