Professor Ed Schatz honoured by APSA

June 8, 2010

The American Political Science Association have selected Professor Ed Schatz as the co-recipient of the Giovanni Sartori Book Award for his work, Political Ethnography: What Immersion Contributes to the Study of Power. The book, a collection of original essays edited by Professor Schatz, demonstrates how ethnography is uniquely suited for illuminating political science.

The Giovanni Sartori Book honors Sartori’s work on qualitative methods. The award is intended to encompass new research on methodology or substantive work that is an exemplar for the application of qualitative methods.

The co-recipient of this year’s award was Evan S. Lieberman of Princeton University, for Boundaries of Contagion: How Ethnic Politics Have Shaped Government Responses to AIDS.
