Connie Flanagan, Associate Dean, discussed National School Walkout Day (click to watch) on Madison News 3. The highly-televised national March 14th walkout was organized by high school students to demonstrate frustration over political inaction regarding gun control. Flanagan, who published the book Teenage Citizens: The Political Theories of the Young, provided her insights as an expert on youths and politics.
Professor Collins receives Kohl Public Service Funding
Four La Follette School faculty members received funding from Herb Kohl Public Service Research Competition. SoHE’s very own Dr. J. Michael Collins were among those awarded. Collins’ award will fund his research about how out-of-pocket health care costs affect Wisconsin families. In addition, this reward will help financially support students as project assistants. Congrats to Professor Collins!
