The American Academy of Political and Social Science was founded in 1889 to promote progress in the social sciences.
Each year, the AAPSS invites a small group of outstanding scholars and public intellectuals to join its ranks as Fellows of the Academy.
Fellows are elected in recognition of their contributions to the advancement of the social sciences. Each fellowship is named after a distinguished scholar or civic leader who has contributed to The ANNALS. Reflecting the broad and interdisciplinary nature of the AAPSS, our fellows include sociologists, political scientists, psychologists and economists, as well as scholars and practitioners in communications, education, government, and public policy.
