In this episode of 1050 Bascom, we were delighted to talk to Professor Genevieve Bates, a new faculty member in the Political Science Department at UW-Madison. Previously, Prof. Bates was an Assistant Professor at the University of British Columbia, and a postdoctoral fellow with the Watson Institute for International and Public Affairs at Brown University. Next fall, she will be teaching a new class we are all excited about entitled, “Transitional Justice in World Politics.” We asked Prof. Bates about her fall class as well as about her research interests in political violence and post-conflict politics, transitional justice, and human rights. We learned a lot and enjoyed the conversation. We hope you will too.
