Please plan to attend the business meeting for the Political Psychology section at this year’s APSA meeting in Philadelphia. It will be held on Thursday, September 1, from 6:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. in the Philadelphia Marriott Downtown, room 309.
One important part of our business meeting is to recognize some of the best work being currently done in political psychology, by celebrating and congratulating the winners of this year’s section awards.

The Robert E. Lane Award is given by the Political Psychology section to recognize the best book in political psychology published in the past year. This year, we have two winning selections: Bethany Albertson and Shana Gadarian’s Anxious Politics: Democratic Citizenship in a Threatening World and Stuart J. Kaufman’s Nationalist Passions. Congratulations!
Thanks also to Kent Jennnings, Beth Miller Vonnahme, and Daniel Myers for all of their excellent efforts in selecting the winners of the award.

Many thanks to David Redlawsk, Brendan Nyhan, and Michael Tesler for all of their time and service to this award committee.
