Picture of Barbara Sinclair

Today's the 10th anniversary of the passing of Dr. Barbara Sinclair, a scholar whose work profoundly shaped how political science understands the U.S. Congress. In recognition of her impact, APSA created the Barbara Sinclair Lecture Award. To find out more and donate: apsanet.org/PROGRAMS/APS...

A full day of public service in action! Fellows visited the CA Supreme Court, met Justice Sheilah Martin and Senator Peter Harder, and joined U.S. Embassy diplomats for a cross-border policy conversation.

With his many contributions to the study of parties and leaders in Congress, it is especially appropriate to recognize Professor Green with an award honoring the legacy of Barbara Sinclair, who made so many vital contributions of her own on these topics.
