Letters & Science -

The College of Letters and Science builds excellence in teaching on excellence in research in the humanities, natural sciences, and social sciences. Many, but not all, L&S research projects and laboratories are now on-line as seen in the resources identified for this page.

The Letters & Science annual report contains sections on "Benefits to Wisconsin" as well as an interactive map with links to selected examples of faculty, staff, and student projects that benefit the people of Wisconsin.

Please note: The following links represent only that portion of current research in Letters and Science for which on-line information is available. The links are arranged alphabetically according to the field of study as representedin the administrative home for the respective research. Additional links will be added as College researchers make information about their work available through the Web.

Letters and Science faculty, research programs, and departments work closely with the UW-Madison Office of Corporate Relations to foster relations between the College and the private sector. Since 2000, Associate Dean Bill Barker has served as the primary liaison between the College, campus-level university-industry relations initiatives, and the private sector. He works closely with issues related to discoveries by faculty and staff, intellectual property rights, and technology transfer.
