Seminar Series: Violence against Women in Politics: A Rising Threat to Democracy Worldwide

Mona Krook is a Professor of Political Science and Chair of the Women & Politics Ph.D. Program at Rutgers University. Her current research explores the global diffusion and impact of electoral quotas for women, as well as the rising global phenomenon of violence against women in politics.

The La Follette School Seminar Series engages participants in discussion of a range of public policy issues and showcases the research of faculty from the La Follette School, other UW–Madison departments, and outside the UW–Madison community. Faculty, students, and visitors take part in lively dialogue about topics such as poverty and welfare, health, education, international affairs, trade and finance, and the environment.
