Research within the Department of Educational Policy Studies (EPS) focuses on three main areas: comparative, international, and global studies in education, history and humanities, and social sciences and education. Bolstered by faculty expertise and research centers — including the Wisconsin Center for Educational Research, one of the largest and most productive research centers in the nation — we drive innovation in educational policy.
