Since 1972, I have monitored the participation of women at the American Political Science Association Annual Meetings. The reports have been published each year in PS: Political Science and Politics. (I'm planning to do this again this summer in Philadelphia.) From time to time, I have also authored surveys of female participation at regional meetings of political science associations.

The International Association for Political Science Students (IAPSS) is an international, politically independent, non-profit, student-run platform for political science students. IAPSS aims to have a global impact in the political science discipline by providing information on current events in the field to its members through its website, newsletter, and e-groups.

Politics are ubiquitous in social life, shaping all manner of interactions in so many spheres of human activity. From the playground to the retirement community, from the marketplace to the halls of government, from families to the global economy, we are constantly engaged in political struggles large and small. Political science, in turn, has long been fundamentally interdisciplinary, exchanging ideas, theories, data, and methods with fields from anthropology to zoology – and everything in between. As political science has become a more self-conscious discipline, it has simultaneously grown more aware of its intellectual debts and on-going contributions to cognate fields of study. The 103rd Annual Meeting of the American Political Science Association will celebrate the interdisciplinary nature of political science and highlight new opportunities for intellectual exchange across disciplinary boundaries.
