Guadalupe Tuñón, assistant professor of politics and international affairs, won the 2024 David Brian Robertson Best Paper Award for her research “Oppression Beyond Plantations: The Effect of Emancipation on Incarceration in Urban Buenos Aires.” The award is presented by the politics and history section of the American Political Science Association.

Tuñón's paper, co-authored with Valentin Figueroa, studies the effect of formerly enslaved people’s emancipation on their probability of being incarcerated in early 19th-century Buenos Aires.

“I am delighted that this paper has received this recognition,” Tuñón said.

Julian Zelizer, the Malcolm Stevenson Forbes, Class of 1941 Professor of History and Public Affairs, was appointed as an affiliated faculty member at the New York University School of Law and has also begun writing a regular column for Foreign Policy.

Zelizer is a CNN political analyst and a regular guest on NPR’s "Here and Now." He is the award-winning author and editor of 25 books, including his latest co-edited work, “Our Nation at Risk: Election Integrity as a National Security Issue.” 

“My appointment as a faculty associate at the Law School is a wonderful honor. As I have become increasingly interested in law and public policy, being able to participate in their conversations and seminars will strengthen my research interests and inform my teaching at Princeton,” Zelizer said. “Writing for Foreign Policy has also been wonderful, as it has enabled me to publish lengthier, in-depth historical takes on contemporary news stories.”
