Crime and Punishment w/ BridgeMadison

<description>On this episode of 1050 Bascom, we were delighted to talk with Corey Robin, Distinguished Professor of Political Science at Brooklyn College and the CUNY Graduate Center. Prof. Robin is also a frequent contributor to The New Yorker, The New York Review of Books, and other publications.  Prof. Robin was on campus in April as part of the University’s Phi Beta Kappa Society’s Visiting Scholar Program.   He presented a talk entitled, “Clarence Thomas’s Radical Race Politics and the Future of the Supreme Court.” We asked Prof. Robin about his research into the intellectual life of Clarence Thomas, the longest serving justice on the Supreme Court. It was a fascinating conversation and we learned so much.  Listen here.</description>

Clarence Thomas’s Radical Race Politics and the Supreme Court w/ Prof. Robin

<description>On this episode of 1050 Bascom, we were honored and delighted to interview Amed Khan.  Amed is the President of the Amed Khan Foundation and a UW–Madison alum who majored in International Relations and Political Science.  His career defies any standard résumé: from working in the West Wing as a special assistant at the Peace Corps, to running rescue missions in Kabul, coordinating evacuations in Syria and Ukraine, and founding a refugee housing initiative in Greece. Amed has shown what it means to step up when the world falls apart and to do so without waiting for permission. In this conversation, we talked about what inspired him to take this path, what it really looks like to do humanitarian work in conflict zones, and how his time at UW-Madison helped shape a worldview that still guides him today. We thoroughly enjoyed our conversation and hope you will too. </description>

<description>On this episode of 1050 Bascom, we were excited to talk with Lieutenant Colonel Scott Gross, Commander of the Air Force ROTC at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. Lt. Col. Gross brings nearly two decades of distinguished service in the United States Air Force, with experience spanning leadership, intelligence, foreign area expertise, and program management. His career has taken him across the world as he did strategic and operational planning in Jordan for Special Operations and Intel operations in Iraq.  He also led program management work in Boston and Ohio. As the leader of the Air Force ROTC here at UW-Madison, Lt. Col. Gross plays a critical role in shaping the next generation of military and civic leaders. In this interview, we talked with him about his experiences in the Air Force, the lessons he’s learned about leadership and service, and why he believes it’s essential for students, regardless of their career aspirations, to think about ways they can contribute to public service.
