The Politics of Human Rights with Andrew McWard

On this episode of 1050 Bascom, we were delighted to talk to Andrew McWard, Assistant Professor of Politics and Public Affairs at Denison University and an instructor here in our Political Science Department at the University of Wisconsin–Madison. Prof. McWard specializes in international relations with an emphasis on international organizations. This summer, Prof. McWard is teaching our very popular The Politics of Human Rights course. Prof. McWard received his PhD in Political Science from the University of Wisconsin–Madison last year and his BA in International Relations from Hendrix College in 2017. We asked Prof. McWard about his Politics of Human Rights course and about his interest in studying and teaching human rights more generally. We thoroughly enjoyed the conversation and learned so much. We hope you will too.
