Meredith Madden's research focuses on sociology of education and social justice education and examines social inequalities in education at the intersections of race, gender, class and nation. Her scholarship and pedagogy is anchored in feminist, anti-racist and decolonial studies. Madden's research and teaching interests also include critical pedagogy, teacher preparation, curriculum development, and university-community collaborations. Her qualitative research on social class dialogues and class consciousness-raising in undergraduate classrooms was recently published in Equity & Excellence in Education. As an act of community engagement, Madden is organizing and will facilitate workshops for Central New York high school students who will be the first in their families to attend college. She earned a doctorate in cultural foundations of education from Syracuse University. She holds a certificate of advanced study in women’s and gender studies from Syracuse University and a certificate in race and equity in education from The University of Pennsylvania’s Equity Institute. She has a master's degree in public policy from The George Washington University, a master's degree in urban education from Mercy College, and a bachelor's degree in sociology from William Smith College.
