American Academy of Political and Social Science

The primary modes of the academy's communication were to be the bimonthly journal, The Annals, annual meetings, symposia, and special publications. Difficult topics were not avoided. The 1901 annual meeting was on race relations in America, and included a paper by Booker T. Washington. The academy began as a membership organization. Membership was open and inclusive In 2000 the academy began selecting and installing Fellows in recognition of social scientists who have made outstanding contributions to the field. Since 2008 the academy has presented an annual Daniel Patrick Moynihan Prize to recognize public officials and/or scholars who have used social science and informed judgment to advance the public good. The academy continues to publish its bimonthly journal, and holds congressional briefings, special conferences, and biannual meetings of its board of directors. The academy has moved away from the membership model, however. == Presidents of the Academy ==
