- Honor recognizes best paper on an LGBT topic

Charles Anthony “Tony" Smith, political science associate professor, is a two-time
recipient of the Bailey Award presented by the LGBT Caucus of the American Political
Science Association (APSA). The award is presented each year at the annual APSA conference
to the author of the best paper on an LGBT topic presented at the previous year's
conference. Smith first received the award in 2011 for his study on legislative representation
of gays and lesbians. His 2014 award winning paper examines the theory of public opinion
backlash against gays and lesbians, finding no evidence of opinion backlash among
the general public, by members of groups predisposed to dislike gays and lesbians,
or those with psychological traits that may predispose them to lash back. The study
was co-authored with Benjamin Bishin, political science professor, UC Riverside; Thomas
Hayes, political science assistant professor, University of Connecticut; and Matthew
Incantalupo, graduate student, Princeton University. The scholars will be presented
with the award at the association's annual meeting in Washington, D.C. August 28-31,
2014.
