The '''American Academy of Political and Social Science''' ('''AAPSS''') was founded in 1889 to promote progress in the social sciences. Sparked by Professor [[Edmund J. James]]<ref>Falkner, Roland P. (1896) "Editorial" ''Annals of the American Academy of Political and Social Science'' 7: pp. 74-77</ref> and drawing from members of the faculty of the [[University of Pennsylvania]], [[Swarthmore College]], and [[Bryn Mawr College]], the Academy sought to establish communication between ''scientific thought and practical effort''.<ref name="History">{{Cite web|title=About the Academy: History|url=http://www.aapss.org/about-the-academy/history|publisher=American Academy of Political and Social Science|
==Establishment==
The primary modes of the Academy's communication were to be the bimonthly journal, ''The Annals'',<ref>''Annals of the American Academy of Political and Social Science'' ISSN 0002-7162</ref> annual meetings, symposia, and special publications. Difficult topics were not avoided. The 1901 annual meeting was on race relations in America,<ref name="Lara">{{Cite web |url=http://www.aapss.org/uploads/futureofacademy.pdf |title=Lara, Antonio and Rich, Paul (2003) "The American Academy of Political and Social Science in the Twenty-First Century" Special publication American Academy of Political and Social Science |access-date=2007-03-26 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070403211659/http://www.aapss.org/uploads/futureofacademy.pdf |archive-date=2007-04-03 |
