\"Marquette<\/a>This is a notable week in the Law School\u2019s public policy initiative. First, it marks the beginning of Charles Franklin\u2019s work as professor of law and public policy\u2014an appointment announced this past May<\/a> by Rev. Scott R. Pilarz, S.J., president of the University. Professor Franklin, formerly professor of political science at the University of Wisconsin\u2013Madison, will continue to direct the Marquette Law School Poll<\/a> and, more broadly, will work with Mike Gousha, Alan Borsuk, and faculty at the Law School and beyond in the continuing development of the Law School\u2019s public policy research and outreach. Second, Craig Gilbert joins us in a sense. Mr. Gilbert, the head of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel<\/i>\u2019s Washington bureau and the author of The Wisconsin Voter blog<\/a> at the newspaper, will hold a six-month fellowship established by the Law School through its Sheldon B. Lubar Fund for Public Policy Research. This is along the lines of work last academic year by the newspaper\u2019s Rick Romell, which resulted in an extensive multipart series in the newspaper<\/a> reporting on the economic future of this region. Mr. Gilbert is especially well-regarded in both journalism and the academy (you can get a sense of that here<\/a>).\u00a0His project during his time as a Lubar Fellow will focus on aspects of political polarization in the region, an activity that (to bring me back to where I began) no doubt will occasion his collaboration with Charles Franklin and Mike Gousha, among others at Marquette. On behalf of all who comprise the Marquette Law School community, it is a privilege for me welcome to both Charles and Craig as they expand the contributions we make to the community even beyond\u00a0our core mission of legal education.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
