The public scholarship program is a remote fellowship that introduces political science graduate students to the intellectual and practical aspects of presenting academic scholarship to the public (https://connect.apsanet.org/centennialcenter/fellowships/public-scholarship-program/).

During the fellowship period, fellows focus on producing public-facing summaries of political science research. This involves communicating with journal editors and authors under the supervision of APSA staff. This work is shared via APSA’s blog, https://www.politicalsciencenow.com, as well as on APSA social media accounts.

The Public Scholarship Program was created in collaboration with the APSA Presidential Task Force for New Partnerships, and thanks to generous support from the Ivywood Foundation.

Our fellows write public-facing, accessible summaries of cutting-edge political science research published in the American Political Science Review. Recent articles covered include work on links between misinformation and vigilante violence, political polarization and its drivers, and production in the era of digital capitalism.
