New York Times columnist and RSF trustee David Leonhardt will moderate the discussion featuring the five scholars elected to the AAPSS as 2020 fellows. The new AAPSS fellows include RSF trustee Mario Luis Small (Harvard University) and RSF author and former visiting scholar Bruce Western (Columbia University). The three other new AAPSS fellows are Katherine Cramer (University of Wisconsin-Madison), Eric Foner (Columbia University), and Helen Milner (Princeton University).
