Roosevelt House Public Policy Institute at Hunter College is pleased to announce that Professor Sanford Schram, a Roosevelt House Faculty Associate who teaches in the Political Science department and Public Policy program, received a highly prestigious book award at the American Political Science Association conference last weekend in San Francisco. The Herbert Simon Book Award is given for significant contributions to public administration scholarship. Schram received the award along with his coauthors Richard Fording (University of Alabama) and Joe Soss (University of Minnesota), for their book Disciplining the Poor: Neoliberal Paternalism and the Persistent Power of Race (University of Chicago Press, 2011). The book has proven to be a significant accomplishment, receiving the Simon award because it has contributed remarkably to the scholarship of public policy and administration. In addition, their book has previously received the Michael Harrington Award from the APSA, and the Oliver Cox Cromwell Award from the American Sociological Association.
