Professor Michael Doyle has been elected a Daniel Patrick Moynihan Fellow of the American Academy of Political and Social Science.

From the Academy's Web site:

"The American Academy of Political and Social Science, one of the nation’s oldest learned societies, is dedicated to the use of social science to address important social problems.For over a century, our flagship journal, The Annals of the American Academy of Political and Social Science, has brought together public officials and scholars from across the disciplines to tackle issues ranging from racial inequality and intractable poverty to the threat of nuclear terrorism.  Today, through  conferences and symposia, podcast interviews with leading social scientists, and the annual induction of Academy Fellows and presentation of the Daniel Patrick Moynihan Prize, the Academy is dedicated to bridging the gap between academic research and the formation of public policy."

"Academy Fellows are recognized for their outstanding contribution to the use of social science evidence and informed judgment in the public policy process.  Each Fellowship is named after a distinguished scholar or civic leader who has written over the past century for The Annals.  Fellows include sociologists, political scientists, psychologists, economists, and scholars and practitioners in communications, education, government and public policy."

Professor Doyle will be inducted to the Academy in 2012.
