About the AAPSS: The AAPSS is one of the nation’s oldest learned societies, founded in 1889, with offices on the campus of the University of Pennsylvania’s Annenberg Public Policy Center. For over a century, our flagship journal, The ANNALS of the American Academy of Political and Social Science, has brought together public officials and scholars from across disciplines to tackle issues ranging from racial inequality and poverty to criminal justice and terrorism. Today, through conferences and symposia, the annual induction of Academy Fellows, and presentation of the Daniel Patrick Moynihan Prize, the AAPSS is dedicated to bridging the gap between academic research and public policy.
