Our Mission
- Provide a venue for publication of outstanding student research (undergraduate and graduate) and draw from the ever stronger submissions to the student paper panels at KPSA.
- Provide a venue for outstanding research from faculty presented at KPSA, helping build participation and interest in our annual conference
- Provide a venue for those doing research on Kentucky and/or state politics and policy with strong relevance to Kentucky.
- Provide an outlet for pieces of solid research that are not clearly able to track into standard publication outlets (often methodological and theoretical pieces).
- Provide, in sum, a publication venue for excellent work from all political science subfields for faculty and students
