  • Professor Boaventura de Sousa Santos, who is in residence at the University of Wisconsin Law School each fall semester as a Visiting Scholar, has been awarded the Gran-Cruz da Ordem do Mérito Cultural de 2009 (Grand Cross of Cultural Merit for 2009) by the government of Brazil. This is the highest honor conferred annually to recognize a personality or institution making the greatest contribution to Brazilian culture throughout the world.  
  • As president of the national Innocence Network, Keith Findley has been invited to testify in Washington, D.C., on November 10, 2009, before the Senate Judiciary Committee as it considers reauthorization of the Justice for All Act.  Included in the Act are the Innocence Protection Act and the Kirk Bloodsworth Postconviction DNA Assistance Program, which provides funding for efforts to use postconviction DNA testing to exonerate wrongly convicted individuals.
  • Darian Ibrahim is cited in an October 28, 2009 article from the Wisconsin Technology Network, "A Tale of Three Cities," on attempts to clone Silicon Valley. The article compares Silicon Valley, New York City, and Madison as entrepreneurial centers, and cites Professor Ibrahim for the conclusion that "the Silicon Valley scenario is incredibly difficult to replicate."  The Wisconsin Technology Network article is here; Professor Ibrahim's paper "Financing the Next Silicon Valley" is available here
