The Jeanne Knutson Award for Outstanding Service to the ISPP goes to Paul Nesbitt-Larking. The nominator said in their letter of nomination, “Paul has very actively served in leadership roles in ISPP for 20 years. He has chaired several committees, especially serving on the Erik Erikson (now Sidanius) Prize Committee and on several conference organising committees. He has been President and Vice President, and has been an active and energetic member of the Executive Board. He also serves one the editorial board of Political Psychology. In addition to his citizenship for the organisation, he has an outstanding academic record in the field, with editorial or author roles in six books and an important series for Palgrave. He has published extensively in academic journals and policy reports. His work in particular reflects a very strongly international scope of research and commentary, which is congruent with ISPP’s agenda. His work is very innovative and he is a leader in the field of narrative research. Paul is the kind of scholar who typifies what ISPP stands for, and the message we are purveying to the international academic and policy communities.” In addition to these qualifications, the Committee noted that Paul Nesbitt-Larking has been active in the Caucus of Concerned Scholars: Committee on Ethics and Morality, and has done yeoman service as a reviewer for the journal, Political Psychology.
