Introduction: Stuart Scheingold, a Personal Reflection

Abstract

This volume of Studies in Law, Politics, and Society explores the legacy of Stuart Scheingold. Stuart Scheingold passed away on June 24, 2010 after a long bout with chronic lymphocytic leukemia. At the time of his death, he was 78 years old. Stuart had a distinguished academic career, teaching political science at the University of California (Davis), the University of Wisconsin (Madison), and, from 1969 until his retirement in 2002, at the University of Washington. The essays contained in this volume are written by former students and colleagues. They engage with his work in various ways, some by directly commenting on it, some by taking up and extending themes that Scheingold developed, some by offering testimonies to its influence.
