About RACE POL
RACE POL is a discussion list sponsored by the Section on Race,
Ethnicity and Politics of the American
Political Science Association. The list exists to facilitate
communication among political scientists and other scholars who share
an interest in race, ethnicity and political power. Messages to the
list include, among other topics, discussions of issues in racial and
ethnic politics, requests for citations and sources, book reviews and
new book announcements, information about graduate programs, job
announcements, notices of upcoming conferences and meetings, and
reports from the Section on Race, Ethnicity and Politics.
Professional Standards
RACE POL is a moderated list, intended primarily for faculty and graduate
students in political science and related disciplines, but open to all others
with an interest in the topic. Our charter from the Section on Race,
Ethnicity and Politics authorizes use of this list, first and foremost, as a
resource for shcolarly interchange. Other uses of the list (i.e., private
communication, partisan commentary, political announcements, etc.) are allowed
as a courtesy and, in the interest of free speech, are protected by the list
moderator so long as such uses do not interfere with our main purpose of serving
as a forum for the exchange of knowledge in our field and profession
The list works best when each contributor adheres to our Section's tradition
of courtesy, professionalism and scholarship. Discussions can be intense,
but postings should always be respectful. For those interested in
combative or polemical discourse, there are many other newsgroups
available. All subscribers are expected to accept and abide by these
standards of scholarly exchange.
