University of Wisconsin-Madison Gender and Women’s Studies Professor Sami Schalk recently released her second book “Black Disability Politics.” The book was designed to bridge a gap between Black activism and disability activism because, as a disability activist, Schalk said the Black perspective is often neglected or not seen in the disability studies field.

The latest version of the survey asks students their perceptions of viewpoint diversity, self-censorship and freedom of expression on campus. Students and faculty previously feared Republican legislators could misuse its results, saying the survey comprised “leading questions” and signaled political interference in the System.
The survey, which is meant to gauge student attitudes toward free speech on campuses, will be sent to a random selection of students — anywhere from 2,500 to 7,500 at each of the 13 System universities — starting Monday. Researchers from the Wisconsin Institute for Public Policy and Service, a unit of the System, are looking to gather 500 responses from each campus.

Andrea Dutton, a professor of geoscience and MacArthur Fellow at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, said that’s not possible.“Burning fossil fuels releases greenhouse gases that are causing temperatures to rise rapidly, and this is the major contributor to the global warming we are experiencing,” she said in an email. “This is not a matter of belief but rather a matter of scientific evidence.”
These ghosts, as Justin Vandenbroucke of the University of Wisconsin-Madison and an IceCube team member put it, are fit to solve two major mysteries in astronomy.
So in a previous study, researchers at the University of Wisconsin-Madison developed a thin encapsulating layer that protects them long enough to take hold in the gut.
“The season is not yet over, which means 2 things: 1) there might yet be additional damaging storms (see Hurricane Nicole right now!) and 2) it takes time for the full economic and noneconomic losses for big storms to become apparent,” Daniel B. Wright, a civil and environmental engineer at the University of Wisconsin-Madison’s Hydroclimate Extremes Research Group, told Newsweek in written comments.
Moss was part of the Badgers football program from 1991-94 and was a catalyst for the turnaround led by coach Barry Alvarez. Moss was the team’s leading rusher in 1993 when UW won the Big Ten and the Rose Bowl in Alvarez’s fourth season. Moss’ 158 yards and two touchdowns on the ground helped the Badgers win the program’s first Rose Bowl in 40 years, and earned him game MVP honors. He was named the Big Ten Player of the Year that season as well.
“It was definitely stressful, it was a really close race for everyone,” Morgan, a student in her fourth year at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, said. “My roommate and I, my sister and I, had the results pulled up on our phone pretty consistently throughout the entire night refreshing it every 20 minutes.”

The Wisconsin legislature has been controlled by Republicans for several election cycles, after they were able to redraw legislative maps that put them firmly in control of legislative districts, even though Democrats tend to hold their own in statewide races, said Michael W. Wagner, a professor in the University of Wisconsin Madison’s School of Journalism and Mass Communication.
Wisconsin may be the best example of how young people lifted Democrats. In Dane County, home to Madison and the University of Wisconsin, Democratic Gov. Tony Evers won by 174,000 votes ― twice as large as his overall statewide margin of victory.

The University of Wisconsin men’s basketball team spent time on Normandy Beach in France this summer and will play three games in The Bahamas later this month. Not too shabby in terms of creating memories.
Letter to the editor: During the game, I went to get two hotdogs, two huge sodas and two bags of chips about 30 or so rows up and back. I am 77 years old and sometimes I have trouble walking. A voice spoke, and I stopped to look down at a 10- or 12-year-old boy who asked, “Sir, can I help you?” Please give this young man’s parents a very appreciative high five. If the parents or the boy are reading this, please offer my gratitude.

The zoo hosts an annual Zoo Ru with a 5K-10K run/walk. The race starts and finishes in the zoo, and uses portions of the adjacent University of Wisconsin–Madison Arboretum. It is one race/walk that has an incredible view!
That’s certainly a sentiment G. Thomas Tanselle would agree with. As our leading authority on all aspects of bibliography and textual criticism, he often writes highly specialized articles, but that’s not true in the case of “Books in My Life” (Bibliographical Society of the University of Virginia). Its centerpiece is “The Living Room: A Memoir,” in which the novels, scholarly nonfiction and journals in Tanselle’s Manhattan apartment, as well as various decorative objects, elicit memories of a happy childhood in Indiana, years as a teacher at the University of Wisconsin at Madison, his long tenure as vice president of the John Simon Guggenheim Memorial Foundation and, above all, the many friends he has made during his career as a “scholar-collector.”
Madison is a college town (University of Wisconsin-Madison) with a reputation for fun. For two years in a row, Madison has taken the top spot in one national survey for livability.

Results may not be finalized until end of week, Campus Vote Project says.
Similar to many school years, the start of the 2022-23 fall semester left many UW-Madison students stuck with expensive drinking tickets for simply following the masses. In early September, the ever-popular City Bar, informally known to have a large underage presence, unveiled a goldmine of underage drinkers — leaving 137 out of 143 patrons with a drinking ticket.
University of Wisconsin-Madison students are surrounded by a prevalent party culture on campus that consists of going out on the weekends, tailgating on game days and hitting the bars — which oftentimes involves drinking. For a certain group of students, this aspect of campus culture is avoided for that reason.
UW students feel the campus is an environment where drinking feels like a social necessity.

“It reached its height in the mid to late ’80s, especially at the federal level, [with] people voting [differently] for president and Congress,” Barry C. Burden, a professor of political science at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, told Vox. But as political polarization, the decline of local news, and the nationalization of local politics have increased in the past two decades, split-ticket voting has been dying a slow death.
“Very few states [have] senators of different parties, and they’re even elected in different years,” Burden, who co-wrote a book on this history, said. “Even the number of split Senate delegations, where senators are from different parties, is now at a relative low.”
“We may see prices rise on certain things like gas or milk, but it’s not necessarily inflation unless you see prices rising sort of across the board, across many different products and services,” says Jordan van Rijn, who teaches agricultural and applied economics at the University of Wisconsin’s Center for Financial Security.
Barry Burden, a University of Wisconsin-Madison political science professor and the director of the Elections Research Project, agreed that the video showed standard procedures for poll workers in Madison.

“Having been a former public high school teacher, I know the stakes are high and feel that I can speak to this group — I don’t want to say more easily than others — but I understand a lot of the issues, and having been a practicing attorney can kind of break down some of the legalese into what do you need to know? What are the key takeaways from a specific case or a regulation or federal or state law?” Eckes said.
Eager to vote, students filed into the Union South polling place Tuesday afternoon at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, with many citing abortion as their reason for turning out.

The town hall discussion brought Jewish students together to talk about the nuances of antisemitism and Zionism at UW-Madison.
Seeing all this, Democrats, including President Biden, have made desperate appeals to voters to take to the electoral ramparts and protect the nation’s democracy. But these entreaties may prove insufficient, suggested Mark Copelovitch, a political scientist at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, at a time when Republican messaging about gas prices and economic pressures have consumed the conversation. “There’s an ‘in your face’ aspect to this that is much more tangible than ‘democracy is about to collapse’ or ‘Wisconsin’s electoral and legislative institutions no longer meet basic criteria of democracy,’” he wrote to me in an email.
“Having a governor who would work closely with our congressional representation in D.C. to move forward on something like a new worker visa program for dairy workers, I think would be huge,” said UW-Madison political science professor David Canon. “That’s another issue I’d put toward the top of the list in terms of being really important for the future of dairy in the state.”
If you ask a kid where a particular game or rhyme came from, they’ll likely tell you they invented it, Rebekah Willett, a professor at the Information School at the University of Wisconsin at Madison who has studied childlore, told me: “They cannot trace it, and they have no investment in tracing it.”
If things continue to go well — or maybe even if they don’t — the job may be his in another month. That’s for Chris McIntosh to decide, and the UW athletic director so far has been tight-lipped on his thought process surrounding this crucial hire.

All job openings at the University of Wisconsin have conditions about the length of time they need to be advertised and recommendations on how many candidates should be interviewed.
Wisconsin’s workers might be riding a new wave of unionization, but they’re still swimming against the tide, said Laura Dresser, a labor economist and associate director of the University of Wisconsin-Madison think tank COWS. She pointed to the ways corporations have consolidated power in recent decades, gaining market share and suppressing wages.
“I don’t want to give the impression that this is some sort of workers’ paradise in any sector,” Dresser said. The tight labor market gave employees some additional power, “but there’s a lot of ways that power has shifted against workers over the last 40 years that one year doesn’t really make up for.”
“UW Health informed the patient that he will not be responsible for any out-of-pocket costs associated with this procedure,” UW Health said in a statement Friday. “We work with our payor associates to ensure patients have accurate information on all care and procedures, including accurate estimates for cost expectations.

Dr. Taboada said he thinks IceCube will continue to get more neutrinos originating from this galaxy. Those future detections could not only help parse out additional details about Messier 77’s supermassive black hole, but could help answer the “oldest question in astronomy,” according to Francis Halzen, a University of Wisconsin-Madison physicist and principal investigator of IceCube.
“We discovered neutrinos reaching us from the cosmos in 2013,” says Francis Halzen, a physicist at the University of Wisconsin-Madison and part of the IceCube collaboration who authored the paper, “which raised the question of where they originate.”
“A pattern emerged but we weren’t sure whether we were seeing fluctuations in the data or if this was real,” says Francis Halzen, principal investigator of IceCube and a professor at the University of Wisconsin-Madison.
