Collaborative

Collaborative scholarship is central to the residential college experience. Faculty and students often participate in research together and or engage in cross-college partnerships with faculty and students in other colleges or units on campus.

Often, these projects continue beyond students’ undergraduate experiences.

To learn more about past and current collaborative research, view Undergraduate Research at JMC and explore current projects such as JMC’s Living Archive, Mekong Culture WELL and the Equitable Development Collaboratory.

Expertise

Madison faculty offer a broad spectrum of expertise. From land and human rights in Southeast Asia to Holocaust studies to drug trafficking to the collapse of the Soviet Union and more.
