The Wit & Humour of Political Science is the serendipitous
product of two senior scholars working across the world from one
another and who independently collected funny and satirical
articles on political science over the years with the intent of
someday publishing them for a wider audience. The lead editors-
Kenneth Newton (Professor Emeritus, University of Southampton,
Visiting Professor, Wissenschaftszentrum Berlin, and Hertie School
of Governance, Berlin) and the late Lee Sigelman (Columbian School
of Arts and Sciences Distinguished Professor of Political Science,
George Washington University) - learned by chance of each other's
projects. Newton and Sigelman joined forces with Kenneth Meier
(Charles H. Gregory Chair in Liberal Arts and Distinguished
Professor of Political Science, Texas A&M University) and
Bernard Grofman (Jack W. Peltason (Bren Foundation) Endowed Chair
in the Department of Political Science, University of California,
Irvine) to publish this collection under the joint imprint of APSA
and ECPR. The collection includes previously published essays as
well as original pieces never formally published. From the editors:
This volume collects what in our opinions are the wittiest and
funniest pieces about political science and political scientists.
Like all good humour, much of the work we have chosen for inclusion
has a serious point. It helps scholars keep an open and skeptical
mind, it picks out our weak points in theory and methods, points
out how research may be going wrong, and it pricks the balloon of
bombast, pretentiousness, and jargon. And, not only that, it's
fun...Its contents make essential reading for all political
scientists, even the most senior, but it may be enjoyed by younger
scholars, especially those without tenure (or worse yet, without a
job), by other social scientists, and even-gasp-by readers
unaffiliated with any academic discipline.
