Harold Lasswell Award
The Lasswell
Award is given for “distinguished scientific contribution in the field of
political psychology.” It is named for Harold Lasswell, one of the first
to apply psychology to the analysis of politics. He was, thereby, also one
of the first to encounter the problems of interdisciplinary work: because of
resistance to his ideas, from 1937 to 1950 not a single article of his was
published in a political science journal. However, he continued to publish
(in psychological and psychiatric journals, and books), and so ultimately he won
recognition, being elected President of APSA in 1955. He taught at
Chicago, Yale, CUNY, Temple, and finally Columbia.
The 2010 award recipient will be strongly encouraged to attend the
2010 Annual Meeting
and Award's Banquet in San Francisco, California, and may be asked to give a talk
at the 2011 annual meeting in
recognition of their work in the field.
All nominations must include a CV of the nominee and an argumentation why
he/she deserves the award. Send nominations via post or email (deadline TBA,
Spring 2010) to:
