This is an entire year's worth of political philosophy from the renowned professor Dr. Charles Anderson. In covering everything from Plato to Marx, Dr. Anderson applies their theories to contemporary political, social, and economic concerns in an engaging manner.

Listen in to these thought-provoking lectures on current events and global affairs. UW faculty experts will discuss international topics ranging from politics, global health and economics to human rights and the environment during this yearlong series, designed to stimulate discussion and to better understand the role of the UW in a global society. These eight lectures were given on campus during the 2007-2008 academic year during a series co-sponsored by the Division of International Studies.

The series will showcase a diverse group of alumni who will share with students their journeys since graduation.

“Each speaker brings such a unique element to our series,” Farha Tahir x’09, associate director for the new series, said. “I can see all of them demonstrating how the values instilled in us through a Wisconsin education have impacted the choices they have made.”
