A Message from the President of the Western Political Science Association

New Editors of Political Research Quarterly Announced

The Western Political Science Association would like to announce the
selection of a new team of editors for Political Research Quarterly. The
new nine-member team will be led by Neil Chaturvedi, Cal Poly Pomona, as
editor-in-chief. The eight associate editors bring in expertise from a
broad cross-section of the political science discipline.

The team of editors was recommended by a selection committee chaired by
Christopher Stout, University of California, San Diego, and approved by the
WPSA Executive Council at its April meeting in San Diego. The Chaturvedi
team was one of three applications that the committee reviewed before
making its recommendation.

Chaturvedi will be replacing Charles ("Tony") Smith, University of
California, Irvine, on July 1, 2026. The association would like to thank
Tony for his four years of serve as PRQ editor-in-chief. During his tenure,
Smith oversaw an expansion of the quality of the journal and in the
diversity of subfields published. He also oversaw a decrease in the
processing times from submission to final decision. His work has been
stellar, and the association is very appreciative of all that he has done.

The other members of Chaturvedi's team are:

Daniel Brunstetter, University of California, Irvine

Kim Dionne, University of California, Riverside

Shane Gleason, Trinity College

Farah Godrej, University of California, Riverside

Tom Le, Pomona College

Peter Miller, Brennan Center for Justice

Robert Nyenhuis, Cal Poly Pomona

Erika Wolters, Oregon State

The association would also like to thank Chris Stout and the other members
of the search committee:

Tony Affigne, Providence College

Nadia Brown, Georgetown University

Nathan Chan, Loyola Marymount University

Claudio Holzner, University of Utah

Alex Diones, Loyola Marymount University

James Scott, Illinois State University

Richard Clucas, WPSA Executive Director

Finally, I would personally like to thank all the applicants for the editor
position. The WPSA and PRQ could not succeed without the support of
individuals like you. I thank you for applying and hope to continue seeing
you play an important role in the association.

Congratulations, Neil. All of us involved in the association look forward
to working with you.
