Paul E. Madden is currently a faculty member and researcher within Connecticut College’s educational studies department. At Connecticut College Paul teaches both introductory courses, such as, Foundations of Education as well as courses focused on teaching STEM for justice, which is his core praxis area. Prior to Connecticut College he spent the first decade of his professional career as a secondary mathematics teacher, debate coach, non-profit leader, and 5-12 mathematics instructional coach in Boston, an Oglala Lakota Tribally Chartered School, and Foxborough, Ma.
Paul’s connection to CCI and his journey as an anti-racist began at Boston College as a member of FACEs, an undergraduate student organization committed to educating the Boston College community about systemic racism. As a new organization in 2004, FACES received formative training from Community Change’s former executive director Paul Marcus and the Women’s Theological Center’s Donna Bivens. Since then, Paul has been involved with CCI as a volunteer, Board member, finance committee member, and, currently, as the Board’s treasurer.
