RELATED GROUPS
The Asian Pacific American Caucus
The Asian Pacific American Caucus (APAC) is a conference group of individuals
who meet annually during professional meetings. Membership is free and
open to all who share an interest in the teaching and learning of Asian
Pacific American political affairs and community-based activism. Our members
are typically affiliated with colleges and universities as faculty, staff,
or graduate/undergraduate students. We also welcome partnership with community
activists and organizational leaders. The APAC was co-founded in 1999
by Professors Andrew Aoki and Pei-te Lien as a related group of the American
Political Science Association(APSA) that has a close relationship to the
Race, Ethnicity, and Politics Section of the APSA. Starting in 2012, with
the preparation and founding of the WPSA Committee on the Status of Asian
Pacific Americans in the Profession, we have held a mini-conference on
APA politics during WPSA meetings.

Conference Group on Environmental Political Theory
The Environmental Political Theory (EPT) group gathers together activists and scholars who are interested in what political theory can contribute to larger policy debates and intellectual discussions about environmental issues. Since 2002, this group has held a daylong workshop in conjunction with Western Political Science Association annual meetings. While the EPT is not a formal part of the WPSA, the association routinely features an entire conference section devoted to environmental political theory. The association also gives out an award for an outstanding paper presented at the conference on this topic.
