AAPSS President Douglas Massey Introduces 2007 Fellows

On April 29, 2007, Douglas S. Massey, Professor of Sociology and Public Affairs at Princeton University and the president of the American Academy of Political and Social Science, recognized the outstanding contributions of four distinguished social science scholars who were installed as Fellows of the Academy:

Claudia Goldin, Henry Lee Professor of Economics at Harvard University, who was inducted as the Charlotte Perkins Gillman Fellow.

Robert O. Keohane, Professor of International Affairs at the Woodrow Wilson School of Public and International Affairs of Princeton University, who was inducted as the Harold Lasswell Fellow.

Robert J. Sampson, Chairman of the Department of Sociology and the Henry Ford II Professor of the Social Sciences at Harvard University, who was inducted as the Ernest W. Burgess Fellow.

Shelley E. Taylor, a Distinguished Professor and co-director of the Health Psychology Program at UCLA, who was inducted as the Herbert A. Simon Fellow.

The Installation was held in The Rotunda of the Ronald Reagan International Trade Center in Washington, DC. The ceremony also recognized the promise of the future generation of social scientists with the presentation of Undergraduate Research Awards to ten students who are among the Academy's Junior Fellows. After receiving their medals, Fellows were asked to reflect on the question of how they felt their own research may have enlightened public discourse and informed public policy.
