Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

For more than a century, the president of the Canadian Political Science Association (CPSA) has delivered an address to his or her colleagues at the discipline’s annual meeting. This essay surveys the CPSA presidential addresses to reflect on the content and practice of political science in Canada: what Canadian political scientists have been studying, and how they have gone about studying it. The author argues that there are resources in the presidential addresses to support both celebratory and denunciatory stories of the history of Canadian political science. The author also suggests three basic realities that any honest history of the discipline, whether celebratory or critical, must address: the two-sided nature of disciplinary fragmentation, the ongoing significance of practical disciplinary concerns, and the omnipresence of the “takers versus givers” question in Canadian political science.

Full frame distilled prediction

Teacher imitation

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
