Scholarly Interests:
Dr. Madsen’s expertise in psychotherapy teaching/training, as well as his commitment to promoting equity, diversity, and inclusion (EDI) in postsecondary education, has formed the core of his educational leadership activities. As an example, in 2018 he was awarded a Teaching and Learning Practice Grant from the University of Calgary to implement routine outcome and progress monitoring into psychotherapy training among graduate students. He has also been an active publisher in his teaching and training roles (e.g., 11 peer-reviewed publications and 2 book chapters since 2017) and has procured competitive funding for his scholarly pursuits. A recent publication entitled Rethinking the course syllabus: Considerations for promoting equity, diversity, and inclusion (Fuentes et al., 2021) has garnered international attention and has been cited by educators across diverse disciplines. He and his co-authors further disseminated these principles and practices at two international conferences. Finally, he is collaborating with two doctoral students on a grant-funded initiative to enhance students’ competence in working with individuals from racialized and marginalized communities.
