In this episode of 1050 Bascom, we were delighted to talk to Professor Marty Davidson, a new faculty member in the Political Science Department at UW-Madison. Next fall he will be teaching two classes: The Political Economy of Race in the US and Crime and Politics. Professor Davidson received his Ph.D. in political science from the University of Michigan. We asked Professor Davidson about his fall courses as well as his research projects and interests. We thoroughly enjoyed our conversation with Prof. Davidson and learned so much. We hope you will too
