Charlton Retires from CSU
Sue Ellen Charlton retired from the department of political science at Colorado State University, where she had taught since 1967. She was a member of APSA for more than 40 years and a frequent contributor to several Association funds. Charlton primarily lectured on Western Europe, Asia, and women in development. Her Comparing Asian Politics (1997), a comparative examination of China, India, and Japan is a standard for undergraduate education in that field and is now in its third edition. Charlton's Women in Third World Development (1984) was one of the first general studies on that topic and is still regarded as a foundational work. Charlton began her career with a focus on French politics, with particular emphasis on policies toward European integration.
Charlton has been a resident scholar at Tokyo Women's University, the American Institute for Indian Studies in New Delhi, and led a Fulbright group project abroad in India. She chaired the political science department from 1987 to 1992 and the university-wide faculty council from 2000 to 2002. With the exception of visiting professorships with the University of Pittsburgh and Grenoble University (France), she spent her entire career at Colorado State, where she has made important contributions to programs in Asian Studies, Women's Studies, and International Development.Her colleague Robert Duffy, expressed his admiration for her work at Colorado State. “Sue Ellen was a tremdous colleague, and we miss her reliably good instincts and insights. It may sound like a cliche, but Sue Ellen was truly an exceptional faculty member sho excelled at all aspects of her job, and whose dedication to the university over the years was unrivalled.” Another colleague, John Straayer, praises her as “the kind of productive, balanced and mature faculty member on which fine universities are built.”
Gadarian Accepts New Appointment
Shana Gadarian was appointed assistant professor in the department of political science at Syracuse University. She will teach courses on American politics and the media and politics. Gadarian received her doctorate from Princeton University in 2008 and has already published in several journals in the profession, including Perspectives on Politics. Her dissertation was recognized by APSA's organized section on Experimental Research as the best in the field and was also nominated for APSA's E.E. Schattschneider Award.
Gadarian has received grants from the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, the National Science Foundation (several), and the University of Washington. She has lectured at Princeton, Swarthmore, and was a Robert Wood Johnson Health Policy Fellow at the University of California, Berkeley from 2009-2011. As a fellow at Berkeley, she has investigated how public anxiety concerning health crises affects the citizenry's trust in government. She received a graduate student travel grant to present a paper on Threat, Fear, and Foreign Policy Opinion at the 2005 APSA annual meeting.
Green Joins Columbia University
Donald P. Green joined the department of political science at Columbia University following 22 years at Yale, where he was a professor of political science and Director of the Institution for Social and Policy Studies. His research interests cover a broad spectrum ranging from voting behavior and campaign finance to hate crime. He has received numerous grants from several sources, including the Ford Foundation, Carnegie Corporation, and the National Science Foundation. Green is a Fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences.
Green joined APSA while pursuing doctoral studies at the University of California, Berkeley and has been a member of the Association for over a quarter of a century. He was a council member from 2005-07 and is an officer of the organized section on Experimental Research, of which he is the outgoing President. He was the 2010 recipient of the Heinz Eulau Award for the best essay in the American Political Science Review. Green's Deference, Dissent, and Dispute Resolution: An Experimental Intervention Using Mass Media to Change Norms and Behavior in Rwanda (with Elizabeth Levy Paluck), was praised by the award committee as a “masterful achievement” that “is truly impressive.”
Tulane Builds Strength in Race and Gender Politics through Newcomb College Institute and New Faculty
To build strength in race and gender politics, Tulane University welcomes two new professors. This fall, Melissa Harris-Perry joins Tulane University as a professor of political science and the founding director of the Anna Julia Cooper Project on Gender, Race, and Politics in the South. Her most recent book, Sister Citizen: Shame, Stereotypes and Black Women in America, is now available from Yale University Press. Beginning with the fall semester, Harris-Perry will teach an undergraduate course on women in politics, media and the contemporary United States and also envisages a new course on the role of first ladies. In her previous academic position, Harris-Perry taught politics and African American studies at Princeton University and has carved out a name for herself in the public sphere as a regular commentator on MSNBC programs such as The Rachel Maddow Show and The Last Word with Lawrence O'Donnell. New Orleans has long been the focus of Harris-Perry's research, and she looks forward to further using the location of the South as a position from which to analyze contemporary issues in American politics. The project takes an intersectional approach and hopes to initiate a visiting scholar program, a postdoctoral program, student media projects, an endowed lecture series, and to develop a journal.
Melissa Harris-Perry
Ambitious in scope, the project is sponsored by Tulane's Newcomb College Institute under the direction of Executive Director Sally J. Kenney, another recent addition to Tulane. Kenney took on her role at Newcomb College Institute in January 2010. She was previously a professor of public affairs and law and the director of the Center on Women and Public Policy at the Hubert H. Humphrey Institute of Public Affairs at the University of Minnesota where she ran a successful postdoctoral progam on race, gender, and public policy and operated a special graduate concentration in women and public policy. Kenney is completing a book on Gender and Judging (Routlede Press 2012) and looks forward to extending her international work on judges and her work on state court judges to Louisiana and the South (http://genderandjudging.com/2009/11/25/sally-j-kenney/). At Tulane, Kenney has pioneered a service learning course on domestic violence in which students do court monitoring of orders for protection cases and looks forward to developing more service learning courses on women, gender, and feminism.
Sally J. Kenney
Harris-Perry's project is a key component of Kenney's vision to involve undergraduate women in cutting-edge research that is politically engaged and leverages the strengths of the Newcomb archives and special collections of the Vorhoff Library. “Melissa's skill at bringing her social scientific expertise to bear on her work as a public intellectual distinguishes her from other successful pundits. Her ability to cross disciplines and subfields, combined with her deep and sophisticated engagement with real-world politics, when added to the existing faculty strengths, positions Tulane to be a leader in women and politics.”
Alter Awarded Guggenheim Fellowship
Karen J. Alter won a John Simon Guggenheim Fellowship in 2011, and the Berlin Prize from the American Academy of Berlin. Alter is Professor of Political Science, with a courtesy appointment in Law, at Northwestern University. She won the Guggenheim Fellowship in law for her interdisciplinary examination of how delegating authority to international courts is reshaping international relations and domestic politics.
Alter is author of Establishing the Supremacy of European Law (Oxford University Press, 2001), The European Court's Political Power (Oxford University Press, 2009) and co-editor of the forthcoming Oxford Handbook on International Adjudication. She also has completed more than 30 articles and book chapters on international regime complexity and on the theory and politics of international courts, focusing on international courts in Europe, Latin America, and, more recently, in Africa.
Alter will spend the fall semester of 2011 in residence at Northwestern Law School and spring 2012 in residence at the American Academy in Berlin. Both awards are to complete her book The New Terrain of International Law: International Courts in International Politics (Princeton University Press, forthcoming).
[Editor's note: In the July 2011 issue of PS we noted three other political scientists who were awarded 2011 Guggenheim Fellowships.]
Fisher Receives Walter Beach Pi Sigma Alpha Award
The National Capital-Area Political Science Association (NCAPSA) awarded the Walter Beach Pi Sigma Alpha Award to Louis Fisher, scholar in residence at the Constitution Project. He previously worked at the Library of Congress as senior specialist in the separation of powers (Congressional Research Service from 1970-2006) and specialist in constitutional law at the Law Library (from 2006–2010). He has testified before Congress 50 times on subjects including war powers, legislative vetoes, military tribunals, state secrets, and presidential inherent powers.
