Leslie Madsen-Brooks
Partner and Founder

Leslie first stepped into the university classroom in 1999, and she has committed herself since then to becoming more thoughtful about teaching and learning—and helping others to do so. Her areas of interest and expertise encompass American studies and history, museums, public history, historic preservation, women in science and technology, social media, and the intersectionality of race/ethnicity, gender, disability, and socioeconomic class.

In addition to academia, Leslie has experience in informal science learning, exhibition design, journalism, development (fund-raising), educational publishing, and arts marketing.

You can read Leslie’s thoughts on teaching and learning at BlogHer, where she serves as a contributing editor for research, academia, and education. Leslie also blogs at Museum Blogging and her personal blog, The Clutter Museum.

Leslie holds M.A. degrees in Creative Writing and Cultural Studies and a Ph.D. in Cultural Studies, all from the University of California, Davis.
