On the Cutting Edge: New Race and Politics Research

We spent the past four days at the annual American Political Science Association conference in Chicago. We thought it would be of interest to TWIR readers to see the assortment of papers related to race that were presented at the meeting (including ours, of course, but don’t get your hopes up – we had some data problems). You can search the papers yourself, or you can read the abstract and/or get a copy of a paper that we feature below by putting in the author’s name and downloading it. The search page also allows you to find and read APSA papers from conferences dating back to 2002.
