This year’s PSJ submissions are over 640, surpassing last year’s 612, likely exceeding 700 by year-end. Including revisions, totals should pass 1,000. This growth reflects our expanding, improving policy community. Thanks for your support!

This is happening next Thursday at 3:30 PM PT at Hyatt Regency Seattle, 5th Floor, Room 501 - Chiwawa. If you are attending the APPAM meeting next week, I look forward to seeing many of you there!
PSJ’s Editor-in-Chief, Dr. @gbsong.bsky.social, will join Dr. Erdal Tekin and Dr. Cassandra Hart for a panel discussion — a great opportunity for early-career policy scholars to learn more about the publication process and engage directly with journal editors.

Had great conversations with fire chiefs & emergency managers alongside Kay Goss (former FEMA Associate Director) about what “resilience beyond FEMA” really means. Frontline professionals are doing heroic work to keep communities safe amid new, complex risks. Truly thankful!
