Bolton Hall UWM campus

POL SCI @ UWM is committed to excellence in teaching and research around important political questions that can be answered in many different ways. We welcome new perspectives, subject all biases to rigorous evaluation, and utilize the best standards of social science to understand our world.

To that end, we recognize that diversity, in all of its manifestations, enhances learning in our classrooms, inspires and enriches our research, and improves the social climate of our classes, our department, and our university.

Our students, faculty, and staff come from a variety of backgrounds, circumstances, and identities, and they have diverse strengths. We recognize, respect, and celebrate these differences, and commit to grow and evolve as we welcome even more diverse perspectives.

We are committed to creating, nurturing, and sustaining an environment where everyone can thrive and to which all can contribute.

You belong here.
