2005 Frank Goodnow Award Winners

The Frank Johnson Goodnow Award was created by the APSA Council in 1996 to honor service to the community of teachers, researchers, and public servants that daily toil in the many fields of politics.

Paul Allen Beck and Jennifer Hochschild were honored with the 2005 Frank J. Goodnow Award for their significant contributions to the political science profession and the American Political Science Association at the 2005 Awards Ceremony, Thursday, September 1, in conjunction with the APSA Annual Meeting in Washington, DC.

Paul Allen Beck is scholar, leader, and consummate volunteer to the discipline. For more than three decades Beck has dedicated his time and knowledge to the study of American politics and the intersection of mass media and public opinion. As a leader in the field of parties and voting behavior he has provided the basis for a future generation of scholars. He has contributed his knowledge to several institutions, and has been honored for exceptional teaching and service with major awards from Ohio State University and Florida State University.

Beck's edited volume Party Politics in America with Marjorie Hershey, and earlier with Frank Sorauf, is now in its tenth edition and remains a definitive book on American party politics. His contributions to the field include more than two dozen journal articles and book chapters, and as many more conference papers. He has also served on the editorial boards of the American Journal of Political Science, the American Political Science Review and numerous others.

Beck has continued to dedicate his experience to associations of the discipline, serving the American Political Science Association in nearly a dozen capacities include chair of the 1994 Annual Meeting and Chair of the Association's Strategic Planning Committee which helped provide guidance for the Association as it moved into the new century. He has also served in leadership positions for the Organized Section on Elections, Public Opinion, and Voting Behavior and as Program Chair for the annual meeting of the Midwest Political Science Association.

Jennifer Hochschild is a scholar, mentor, and leader to the discipline. For over twenty years she has dedicated her time and knowledge to the intersection of American politics and political philosophy. Hochschild's work in the areas of race, ethnicity, and immigration, and education has provided critical understanding to a generation of scholars and students. As a faculty member at Princeton University, and now at Harvard University, she has been recognized with a number of the prestiguous awards in the discipline, including being named a fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences in 1996.

Hochschild has authored path breaking works such The American Dream and the Public; Facing Up to the American Dream: Race, Class, and the Soul of the Nation; and The New American Dilemma: Liberal Democracy and School Desegregation, all of which have contributed significantly to public education. She has written more than fifty journal articles, book chapters, and conference papers, as well as served on the editorial boards of the American Journal of Political Science and nearly half dozen more.

Hochschild has continued to dedicate her experience to the discipline: serving the American Political Science Association as Vice President, Council member, Annual Meeting co-chair, and participant in dozens of committees and task forces. As a leader and inaugural editor of the Association's journal Perspective on Politics she has helped develop a critical new journal in the discipline. Hochschild's drive to assist a new generation of women scholars led to her election as president of the Women's Caucus for Political Science in 1993

The APSA Council established the Frank J. Goodnow Award in 1996 to honor the contributions of individuals to both the development of the political science profession and the building of the Association. Frank J.
