Welcome
to APSA RESPECT
WHO WE ARE
The APSA RESPECT Campaign encourages “professional respect” by and towards all APSA annual meeting attendees and participants at all times. Respect stands for Respectful, Equitable, Safe, Professional, and Ethical Conduct Towards All. The APSA Sexual Harassment Survey Report and Anti-Harassment Policy (code of conduct) address the importance of facilitating a climate of respect at the annual meeting.
WHAT WE DO
The APSA RESPECT Campaign encourages professional respect by and towards all APSA annual meeting, TLC, and workshop and event participants and attendees. We also encourage you to model this principle in your home departments and places of employment and elsewhere throughout the political science profession.
