Founded in 1953, the APSA Congressional Fellows Program is the nation’s oldest and most prestigious congressional fellowship. The program remains devoted to its original objective of expanding knowledge and awareness of Congress. For nine months, select political scientists, journalists, doctors, federal executives, and international scholars gain “hands on” understanding of the legislative process by serving on congressional staffs. Through this opportunity, the association enhances public understanding of policymaking and improves the quality of scholarship, teaching, and reporting on American national politics.

A Virtual Review: Gender, Race, Ethnicity, and Diversity in APSA Publications
Just over five years ago, the Task Force on Political Science in the 21st Century, led by co-chairs Luis Fraga and Terri Givens and 2007–2008 APSA President Dianne Pinderhughes, addressed the preparedness of the discipline to respond to the changing demographics, increasing multicultural diversity, and ever-growing disparities in higher education. The task force report (2011) offered recommendations to the discipline on political science research, recruitment and hiring, and teaching on racial, ethnic, and gendered marginalization. To mark the anniversary of the task force report, Dianne Pinderhughes and co-author Maryann Kwakwa were invited to identify and review a sample of articles that have appeared in the association’s journals in recent years that engage issues of gender, race, ethnicity, and diversity.
