Weldon Receives Violet Haas Award
S. Laurel Weldon, professor of political science, is the recipient of the 2012 Violet Haas Award at Purdue University. She will be honored at a reception this fall.
Established in 1990, the Violet Haas Award recognizes individuals, programs, or departments at Purdue that have effectively facilitated the advancement of women in hiring, promotion, education, and salary or have generally enhanced a positive professional climate for women at Purdue University.
Weldon came to Purdue's political science department in 1999; since then, her scholarly work has received substantial recognition. For example, this year, she received the APSA Victoria Schuck Award, presented for the best book published in 2011 on women and politics, for her title When Protest Makes Policy: How Social Movements Represent Disadvantages Groups (University of Michigan Press). She was awarded the Best Paper Award for the best paper presented at the 2011 Annual Meeting in the field of women and politics from the APSA Organized Section Women and Politics Research. In 2006, she won Political Research Quarterly's award for best article published that year. Also this year, Weldon was invited to present her work, “Women Deepening Democracy,” at a United Nations conference in New Delhi.
Weldon has served on the APSA Committee on the Status of Women in the Profession and is currently president of the women and politics research section of APSA. She has served on and chaired the best dissertation proposal award for the Women's Caucus of APSA, and recently finished a term on the council of the Midwest Political Science Association
Together with Mala Htun, Weldon is engaged in the final stages of a National Science Foundation-funded project to conduct a global analysis of the politics of women's rights.

Holden Acknowledged in Congress
In the official Congressional Record of the proceedings and debates of the United States Congress on June 6, 2012, Congressman Bennie G. Thompson honored and “celebrates the achievements and accomplishments of Dr. Matthew Holden, Jr., Academician.” Holden is a former president of APSA and of the Policy Studies Organization.
In his recognition remarks, Thompson outlined Holden's career highlights, extensive publication record, and his many activities outside the academy. These include congressional testimony on D.C. government organization, energy policy, and constitutional and historical information on presidential impeachment. He also held appointments as Commissioner of the Public Service Commission of Wisconsin and Commissioner of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission. He has been a member of the Electricity Advisory Board and Task Force on Electric System Reliability, both for the US Department of Energy.
Matthew Holden, Jr. is currently the Wepner Distinguished Professor in Political Science, University of Illinois, Springfield, a position he has held since August 2009. He is the convener of the Wepner Symposium on the Lincoln Legacy and Contemporary Scholarship.
Curtis Awarded Doctorate
Mark Curtis, a TV journalist, author, as well as a 1992–93 APSA Congressional Fellow, has earned his Doctor of Education in Educational Leadership degree from St. Mary's College of California.
Curtis, who was a congressional fellow to then Rep. Charles Schumer (D-NY) and Sen. Herb Kohl (D-WI), completed his dissertation in a study of how voters in generational age groups made different media choices in how they gained information about politics in the 2008 presidential election and beyond.
“People are very much creatures of habit,” said Curtis. “They gravitate toward what they grew up with or used all their lives in terms of news coverage.” The study found that voters over age 60 still gravitate to traditional media of newspapers, radio, and television. The youngest voters—under age 30—are completely opposite, using Internet-based news and social media, almost to the exclusion of newspapers and TV.
Curtis is the morning co-anchor and chief political reporter for WLNE-TV ABC 6 in Providence, Rhode Island. In addition, Curtis is an adjunct lecturer in the communication department at Rhode Island College. He is also the owner of MarkCurtisMedia.com, a communications and political consulting firm in Danville, California.
New Appointment for Sheldon Goldman
The University of Massachusetts Amherst Board of Trustees has appointed long-time political science faculty member Sheldon Goldman a Distinguished Professor. This appointment recognizes Professor Goldman's outstanding research, service, and teaching in the department of political science.
For nearly 50 years at UMass Amherst, Goldman has become one of the nation's top experts on the politics of judicial selection and confirmation. In the 1960s, he was one of the first scholars who sought to expand traditional public law approaches to the study of the judiciary, and his research shifted the focus of federal court scholarship from a singular examination of the Supreme Court to a broader and more inclusive study of Law and the Courts. In the 1970s, Goldman began a series of articles in judicature on federal judicial selection, which he continues to write.
Goldman is the author of Picking Federal Judges, which was selected Outstanding Academic Book for 1998 by Choice Magazine and received Honorable Mention for the 1997 C. Herman Pritchett Award given by The Law and Courts Organized Section of APSA. He is recipient of a Woodrow Wilson Fellowship and Harvard Fellowship, and he has received grants from the NSF, Social Science Research Council, LBJ Foundation, Harry S. Truman Library Institute, and the Ford Library, as well as University grants.
In 2004, Professor Goldman was recognized with a Chancellor's Medal, and in 2006 he received the Lifetime Achievement Award from the APSA's Law and Courts Organized Section. Professor Goldman has appeared on or been interviewed by NBC Nightly News, Bill Moyer's Journal, CBS, Voice of America, CNN, Rolling Stone, the Wall Street Journal, and the New York Times, among countless other regional and national media outlets.
Goldman's numerous teaching honors including Pi Sigma Alpha's Outstanding Teacher in 1988 and 2002. He continues to be a tireless advocate for political science students and acted as the department's honors coordinator for several years.
Paul Volcker Receives Moynihan Prize, Fellows Named
The American Academy of Political and Social Science (AAPSS) presented its Daniel Patrick Moynihan prize for 2011 to APSA member Paul A. Volcker in a ceremony at the Ronald Reagan Building in Washington, DC. Volcker was introduced by the first recipient of the Moynihan Prize, Alice Rivlin, former director of the Office of Management and Budget and now a Senior Fellow in Economics at the Brookings Institution.
The Academy honored Volcker for his long career in government starting at the New York Federal Reserve Bank in 1952. He also served at the Treasury Department and as the two-term chairman of the Federal Reserve System from 1979 to 1987. As Fed Chairman, Volcker receives credit for ending the stagflation that plagued the Carter Administration and restoring the US economy while sending it on the low-inflation path that continues to this day. He has also received plaudits for his work leading various civic activities: a Commission on Public Service; another panel charged with finding dormant accounts and other assets in Swiss banks for victims of Nazi persecution; and a Board of Inquiry that examined the scandal-plagued United Nations Oil-for-Food program. From 2008 to 2011 he was chairman of President Obama's Economy Recovery Board.
AAPSS also honored, by naming them Fellows, other APSA members whose work has influenced public policy. Columbia Professor Michael Doyle was named the Daniel Patrick Moynihan Fellow for his work with the UN. Robert Jervis, also of Columbia, was honored as the Robert Dahl Fellow for his work on the political psychology of international relations. Beth Simmons of Harvard, and a former COSSA congressional seminar speaker, was honored as the Edward Kennedy Fellow for her work on human rights and international law.
Founded in 1889, the AAPSS is one of the nation's oldest learned societies and is dedicated to the use of social science to address important social problems.
Ira Katznelson Named Next SSRC President
Ira Katznelson became president of the Social Science Research Council effective September 1, 2012.
Katznelson, Ruggles Professor of Political Science and History at Columbia University, is an accomplished social scientist, whose distinctive scholarship ranges across multiple fields, including American politics, comparative politics, and political theory. Prior to his position at Columbia, he taught at the University of Chicago, chairing its department of political science from 1979 to 1982, and at the New School for Social Research, where he was dean of the graduate faculty from 1983 to 1989. He was president of the APSA in 2005–2006, is a vice chair of the Academic Advisory Board of the Institute for Human Sciences in Vienna, and previously served as president of the Social Science History Association. Katznelson has been a Guggenheim Fellow and is a fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences and the American Philosophical Society. A prolific author, he was the founding editor of the interdisciplinary journal Politics & Society. His latest book, Fear Itself: The New Deal and the Origins of Our Time, is forthcoming in early 2013.
Michael Kennedy, chair of the Board's Executive Committee and of the Presidential Search Committee, reflected on the ratification of the new president:
“The Council is very fortunate to have appointed a scholar of such accomplishment, breadth, and distinction as Ira Katznelson. Our search was extensive, and we considered many candidates, several of whom would have been outstanding leaders of the SSRC… . Ira is poised to take the SSRC to the next level following Craig Calhoun's spectacular leadership.”
Founded in 1923, the Social Science Research Council is an independent, nonprofit international organization. It nurtures new generations of social scientists, fosters innovative research, and mobilizes necessary knowledge on important public issues.
