Faculty

Whether in the sciences, professional schools, humanities, or social sciences, faculty participation and expertise helps build Global Studies so that we may serve those who share our interest in citizenship and global security. Our goal is to increase our membership base and expand involvement in programming, so that we can meet the needs of faculty, students, and the broader Wisconsin community.

Faculty members can become involved in Global Studies by attending events, suggesting new forms of programming (research and instructional), participating in event planning, and serving on our standing committees: Advisory, Fellowships, and Outreach. They may also peruse our library of working papers, research papers, videos, and other useful materials.
