COVID-19

The SPSA hopes that everyone is healthy and safe during this unusual time. Though we continue to function as an Association, we are very aware that professional political scientists are focusing on what they need to do in the interests of their health, the well being of their families, and the responsibilities we have to our students and colleagues. We ask that Association members take care of themselves and one another, and work together to get through the challenges we all face.
