Wisconsin Russia Project–archived

The Wisconsin Russia Project, which ran from 2016-25 was an initiative funded by the Carnegie Corporation of New York, the U.S. Russia Foundation, and the International Division at UW-Madison, with administrative support from CREECA. The project built on social science research at the University of Wisconsin-Madison and brought together an array of UW-Madison academic departments, faculty, and scholars with social scientists from the Russian Federation. It was a cooperative effort designed to generate expanded scholarly knowledge of Russia’s economy, society, politics, culture, and institutions, train new generations of social scientists who focus on Russia, and foster close collaborations and networks between US- and Russia-based social scientists. In its nine years, the Wisconsin Russia Project hosted three “Young Scholars” conferences and supported numerous graduate students, postdoctoral scholars, and professors of practice in the social sciences.
