    Joel Rogers

    Joel Rogers is professor of law, political science, public affairs, and sociology at the University of Wisconsin–Madison. A MacArthur Foundation "genius" prizewinner, Rogers was identified by?Newsweek?as one of the 100 living Americans most likely to shape U.S. politics and culture in the twenty-first century. The common thread in his academic work is democracy: how to define and measure it, what makes it work, how to make it work better. Rogers spends a lot of time outside the university advising people in politics, government, business, and social movements. He runs the Center on Wisconsin Strategy, which promotes high-road ( equitable, sustainable, democratic) economic development and governance. It has produced a stream of influential innovations in worker training; business and labor strategy; and local, state, and national policy.
