Ms. Selkowe's fellowship begins in August 2003, based at the Law School's Economic Justice Institute and Neighborhood Law Project, where her project will be to work on behalf of low-wage workers, representing them in employment and benefits matters in collaboration with the Workers' Rights Center in Madison.

Before enrolling in the UW Law School, Ms. Selkowe worked at the Institute for Wisconsin's Future. She has extensive background in the area of welfare reform and in the situation of low-wage workers in the post-welfare economy.
