Vincent Hutchings has been presented the Hanes Walton, Jr. Career Award by the American Political Science Association (APSA), a recognition of distinguished scholarship in political science that has contributed to understanding racial and ethnic politics and the conditions under which diversity and intergroup tolerance thrive in democratic societies. Hutchings has had a tremendous influence on the field of political science, and his contributions have made a lasting mark on the study of racial and ethnic politics and public opinion as well as the professional trajectories of his students.  The APSA award committee cited Hutchings’ accomplishments through not only his own pioneering scholarship and theoretical innovations around racial prejudice and political psychology and attitudes, but also by building up the key infrastructures to support these advances. Read more from APSA’s Political Science Now..
