Haley MaddenTeaching Faculty, Civil Society & Community Studiesshe/her/hers

I believe in the power of working across sectors to create positive social change. Currently, I am supporting undergraduates interested in social innovation and social entrepreneurship through Civil Society & Community Studies coursework.

For the past decade, I worked as a community engagement professional to support collaborations between community partners and UW–Madison faculty, staff, and students to create a more just and equitable world. A large part of my work was to create supportive programs, structures, and policies at UW to support high-quality community engagement that centers social justice.

I have worked as an educator for all of my adult life. At UW–Madison, I’ve taught both undergraduates and graduate students in multiple disciplines, including in my graduate disciplinary home of journalism. Outside academia, I work as a horse training and riding instructor.
