Who
Are We?
Founded in April 1995, the
Organized Section on Race, Ethnicity and Politics has quickly become
one of the largest subfields
in the American
Political Science Association
(APSA).
Our section now represents more than 500 political science professors,
graduate students, authors, and editors. Most of us specialize in the
politics of Native,
African, Latino, and/or Asian Pacific Americans; some study
racial and ethnic politics internationally; some study issues of
race/ethnicity in social theory, public policy, education, law, and
political history.

• generates discourse for innovative frameworks (and
analyses) for the study of race, ethnicity, and politics;
• is well-written; and
• is analytically rigorous (primary source data, case
material, extant analyses, new or underutilized methodology).
