Research
In carrying out the Wisconsin Idea, La Follette School faculty engage in research and public service activities that benefit the world, nation, state and local community by showcasing recent research developments and increasing understanding of important issues. In addition to publishing in the best juried and peer-reviewed journals, faculty share their research and writing through La Follette School publications that include the Policy Report and the Working Paper Series. They and other University of Wisconsin-Madison faculty and guests share their work at the weekly Seminar Series. La Follette School students produce workshop reports as part of their capstone course, and they carry out other research as project assistants and in their courses.
The La Follette School is home to research centers, and
La Follette School faculty direct or are otherwise affiliated
with other research centers and institutes at the University of
Wisconsin-Madison. Faculty also carry out myriad research
initiatives independent of centers and institutes.
