It stands at and seeks to support the intersection where philosophical, psychological, normative, and empirical approaches and problems meet. Foundations, as the name suggests, aims to study the more permanent dimensions of political life ranging from the design of institutions and political practices to the terms and concepts used to interpret the former. At the Foundations website, you will find information about the section, including its officers, its newsletter, and a “bookstore” where you can browse past and new titles in political theory. One new feature is a listing of job opportunities for political theorists and recent placements. If you are not already a member of the section, we hope that you will join us.

SECTION 42: EXPERIMENTAL RESEARCH

Formed: 2010 / Dues: $18 for students and professional members (online only version of journal); $24 for students and professional members (print and online version of journal)

The Experimental Research Organized Section of the American Political Science Association advances pedagogy, research, and scholarly contributions based on randomized or natural experiments. Recent years have seen a dramatic increase in the number of published articles in political science that use experiments. Experimentalists are exploring topics that would have been unimaginable only a few years ago. The rapid growth, development, and celebration of experimental methods in political science presents the opportunity to share a specific vocabulary and toolkit with researchers interested in experimental methods of all kinds. The section is devoted to helping scholars develop and hone these skis and to providing a forum where research based on these techniques can be shared and discussed.

Chair: Lynn Vavreck, University of California, Los Angeles,

Chair-Elect: Macartan Humphreys, Columbia University,

Secretary: Scott Clifford, University of Houston,

Treasurer: Peter Descioli, Stony Brook University,

Editors: Journal of Experimental Political Science: Rebecca Morton, New York University, ; Joshua Tucker, New York University,

Editor: The Experimental Political Scientist Newsletter: Reuben Kline, SUNY, Stonybrook,

2016 Annual Meeting Program Chair: Mike Findley, University of Texas at Austin,

Executive Council: Kevin Esterling, University of California, Riverside; Alan Gerber, Yale University; Jake Bowers, University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign

Best Book Award

Recognizes the best book published in 2015 that either uses or is about experimental research methods in the study of politics. A copy of the book should be sent to each member of the selection committee at the addresses provided below no later than April 1, 2016.

Nominations due: April 1, 2016

Award Committee: Chris Karpowitz, Chair, Brigham Young University,

Best Dissertation Award

Eligible nominees will have completed a dissertation in the 2015 calendar year that utilizes experimental methods on substantive political science research, or makes a fundamental contribution to experimental methods. Nominations should come from faculty members but they need not be on the students’ dissertation committee.

Nominations due: April 1, 2016

Award Committee: Jonathan Ladd, Chair, Georgetown University, ; Kathleen Searles, Louisiana State University, ; Antoine Banks, University of Maryland

Best Paper Award

Recognizes a paper that was scheduled to be presented at APSA and features experimental analysis. Chairs and discussants are especially encouraged to nominate papers, but nominations from anyone who is aware of an interesting paper prepared for presentation (as well as self-nominations) are welcome.

Nominations due: April 1, 2016

Award Committee: Guy Grossman, Chair, University of Pennsylvania, ; Jeff Conroy-Krutz, Michigan State University, ; Josh Kertzer, Harvard University, ; Sean Westwood, Dartmouth College,

Public Service Award

Many experiments only occur thanks to the assistance of non-researchers who provide access to resources and data. This award recognizes a special form of public service, the facilitation of randomized experiments in political science by those outside the academy. Considerations in the evaluation of nominees for this award include (1) their generosity with time, resources, and data and (2) their willingness to permit research transparency (e.g., allowing researchers to publish research without regard to how the results come out).

Nomination Instructions: Researchers should send a one paragraph description of the nominee to all committee members.

Nominations Due: April 1, 2016

Award Committee: Don Green, Chair, Columbia University,

SECTION 46: IDEAS, KNOWLEDGE, AND POLITICS

Formed: 2014 / Dues $1 for students and $9 for professionals

To understand political decisions and actions, it is necessary to study the sources and content of our political beliefs. To assess these decisions and actions, we need to study whether our political beliefs are accurate. Why do different people interpret the political world in different ways? How do they interpret either their own interests or the public interest; from what sources are these interpretations drawn; and how do these interpretations motivate political action? Given political actors’ imperfect knowledge, how do they try to approximate full knowledge of the likely consequences of their actions, and how successful are these attempts? Under what conditions do political beliefs tend to be true? These questions have tended to be neglected within political science, with the result that our understandings of political processes ae often incomplete. By addressing itself to the sources and the accuracy of our political beliefs, political epistemology seeks to fill a significant lacuna in political science and political theory.
