During the 2024 National Conference of Black Political Scientists (NCOBPS) Annual Meeting held in Los Angeles, California, the APSA Diversity and Inclusion Department conducted a second set of oral history interviews of Political Science Scholars. This collection of interviews contributes to a continuous project that seeks to amplify the scholarship and contributions of Black, Indigenous, and People of Color to the profession and investigate the history of race and racism in the political science profession. The collection is motivated by the McClain Task Force on Systemic Inequality in the Discipline (2022). The videos premiered at the 2024 APSA Annual Meeting in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, and will be shown at the 2025 NCOBPS Annual Meeting.
Interviewees include: Dr. Shiela Harmon-Martin, University of the District of Columbia; Dr. Errol A. Henderson, Professor of Political Science and International Relations; Dr. Ollie Johnson, Wayne State University; and Dr. KC Morrison, University of Delaware.
