The American Academy of Political and Social Science (AAPSS), one of the nation’s oldest learned societies, will welcome six scholars as 2023 fellows this fall. The AAPSS selects a small group of scholars and public servants to be fellows of the academy each year, in recognition of their contributions to social science and the extent to which their work has deepened public understanding of human behavior and social dynamics.
Scott Straus is a political scientist whose work focuses on large-scale political violence, particularly genocide and how it occurs. He also studies issues of human rights, post-conflict politics, and electoral violence in sub-Saharan Africa. Straus is a professor of political science at the University of California, Berkeley, where he is the coordinator of the comparative politics subfield. He is the AAPSS’s 2023 Mahatma M.K. Gandhi Fellow. Straus is also an APSA member and serves on the APSA Committee on Departmental Services.
