APSA Oral History Project: Meet Dr. Kathie Stromile Golden, Mississippi Valley State University

This collection of interviews contributes to a continuous project that seeks to amplify the scholarship and contributions of Black, Indigenous, and People of Color to the profession and investigate the history of race and racism in the political science profession. It further builds upon the APSA-Pi Sigma African American Alpha Oral History Project (1988-1994) and is motivated by the McClain Task Force on Systemic Inequality in the Discipline (2022). This project was filmed by Hal Jacobs and conducted and edited by the staff of the American Political Science Association.

This interview was conducted by APSA’s Program Manager for Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion, India Angelique Simmons, at the National Conference of Black Political Scientists (NCOBPS) Annual Meeting in Atlanta, Georgia, March 10, 2023.
