Chancellor Biddy Martin will moderate a panel featuring four UW-Madison professors to discuss social issues September 29 in New York City.
""This will be a lively discussion focusing on subjects that concern us all, including the prospects for a deliberative democracy, given the heavily ideological divisions in the country, the challenges we face and the dramatic changes in mass media,"" Martin said in a statement.
The panel will discuss ties between the economy, environment, politics and the media.
The four professors—Barry Burden, Tracey Holloway, Joel Rogers and Stephen Ward—are experts in topics such as third-party candidate strategies, Congress, air pollution, law and journalism ethics.
It will be the first event of what UW-Madison hopes will be a national series to ""provide a rich and very different experience for alumni, donors and friends,"" Wisconsin Alumni Association president and CEO Paula Bonner said in a statement.
