Madison Fitzgerald-Russell (She/they)

Postdoctoral Scholar
University of Iowa
Marion, Iowa, United States

Dr. Madison Fitzgerald-Russell (she/they) is a Postdoctoral Research Scholar at the University of Iowa, where they work with the HHMI IE3-funded project for the Learning Community Cluster 2 (LCC2), which seeks to improve student belonging in introductory STEM courses for marginalized students. They are conducting a study on the success of this ongoing collaborative and evaluating its current ability to reach its stated goals. She graduated with a PhD in Science Education: Physics from Western Michigan University, where her dissertation qualitatively explored the experiences and perceptions of queer-science major undergraduate students through a queer theory and intersectional lens. Their research goals include creating spaces for inclusion in and expanding equity of STEM education for marginalized folks in both K12 and higher education, focusing on queer and trans folks. Madison has been involved in efforts to support diversity, equity, and inclusion efforts in STEM, including serving on conference organizing committees (CUWiP @ WMU 2022, PERC 2022: Queering physics education, and PRIMSATIC) and as a panelist for workshops (LGBTQIA Panel for CUWiP 2022 and 2023), engaging in research and community with the Queer and Trans People in Education (QTPiE) network, and continuing to create a professional community of practice with PRISMATIC.
