Introducing ‘Reorientation’, a Podcast from the Center for Campus History

What’s the deal with campus police? How did UW–Madison and hundreds of other universities across the country end up with their own deputized law enforcement agencies? And what does their existence mean for the communities they police, both on and off campus?

Those are the questions we’re digging into on the inaugural season of Reorientation, an original narrative podcast from the Center for Campus History! Each season we’re giving a historical topic the deep-dive treatment with new archival research finds, interviews with experts and scholars, and stories from the past brought to life in a new way.
