Hi there,

In case we’ve not met—my name is Mădălina, and I am presently in România, where I am conducting oral history research about daily life during communism for my dissertation in Depth Psychology and Somatic Studies.

Before this, I was living in the U.S., where I taught a variety of embodied literacy classes. Since living in România, I’ve not had the privilege to teach and I greatly miss it. However, this several-month pause in teaching has clarified a hunch I’ve had for years—I want to offer this work in a community-based fundraising format, with funds supporting child and adolescent literacy.

You can read about my thoughts on literacy and social advocacy on the “Why 826LA” page.

And if you’d like, you may access my LinkedIn profile for a more in-depth look at my background.

With care,
Mădălina
