Political Science is happy to welcome you back to campus for Spring 2025!  We are especially excited to have one of our own alums, Professor Wendy Martinek (MA, ’95), here visiting this semester while she’s on sabbatical from Binghamton University where she is Professor of Political Science. Professor Martinek will be working on a project on Supreme Court Justice appearances with Professor Benesh and her UWM SURF students as well as a project on the Irish courts with UW-Whitewater Professor Jolly Emrey. She’ll be presenting some of that Irish courts work at MAPSS this Spring, so watch for that under Events.  Welcome, Wendy!
