In this episode of 1050 Bascom, we talk to Prof. John Zumbrunnen, Chair of the Political Science department and incoming Vice Provost of Teaching and Learning at the University about UW-Madison’s plans to re-open this fall with a mix of online and face-to face classes. In light of the ongoing civil rights protests on campus and around the nation, we also asked Prof. Zumbrunnen to address pressing questions about race and identity in the political science department with respect to both faculty representation and course offerings. We appreciated the opportunity to speak to Prof. Zumbrunnen.
