Pete Shively

Pete Shively joined the Interactivity Foundation in November 2005. As a Projects Administrator for the Foundation and also now as a Fellow, Pete works closely with the Foundation’s Intellectual Development Committee, helping to coordinate the Foundation’s various public discussion efforts, its website, and other developmental programs and functions.  In 2010, Pete began his first project discussion on the topic of Food.

An almost-recovered corporate lawyer, Pete was an attorney with the firm of LaFollette Godfrey & Kahn in Madison (1998-2005). His law practice focused primarily on assisting development stage and university-related companies, mostly in the life sciences. From 1993-1997, Pete was an assistant city attorney in College Station, Texas.

Pete has a law degree, cum laude, and a masters degree in public policy and administration, both from the University of Wisconsin-Madison. Pete was an articles editor for the Wisconsin Law Review, which published his article on lender liability, and he graduated from Northwestern University in 1985 with a B.A. in history and political science.

Pete and his wife Ruth, herself a recovering political theorist, have 3–far too active–boys.  In rare moments of domestic calm, he also sometimes enjoys bicycling in the Wisconsin countryside, reading and arguing political philosophy, bending nails, hiking, canoeing, and–with much greater regularity–the comparing and contrasting of many varieties of micro & craft brewed beers.
