BIO:

Madeleine Baran is an investigative reporter for APM Reports and the host and lead reporter of the podcast In the Dark. Baran's work focuses on holding powerful people and institutions accountable. Her reporting has exposed flaws in law enforcement investigations, forensic science, state-run mental health institutions and other areas. In 2013 and 2014, Baran exposed a decades-long cover-up of clergy sexual abuse in the Twin Cities archdiocese. Her reporting led to the resignation of the archbishop, criminal charges against the archdiocese, and lawsuits by victims of clergy sex abuse. In 2015, the archdiocese filed for bankruptcy. Baran's reporting has also appeared on NPR and has been cited by the New York Times. Baran has received numerous national awards for her reporting, including an Alfred I. duPont-Columbia Award, regarded as the Pulitzer Prize of broadcasting, a George Foster Peabody Award, a Gracie Award, and two national Sigma Delta Chi awards. Baran received her master's degree in Journalism and French Studies from New York University.

At Hampshire, Madeleine studied 19th and 20th century French and Russian literature and her Div III was on Dostoevsky.

ALUM 1-2-1 PROGRAM
The Alum 1-2-1 program is your chance to have a 30-minute informal conversation with a Hampshire alum. It's an opportunity to brainstorm, ask questions, and bounce ideas off alums who are spending their lives doing what they love.

Appointment times with Madeleine are available from 2:00-4:00 pm on Thursday, March 5th, and are filled on a first-come, first-served basis. Students of all Division levels (and recent grads!) are welcome to schedule a meeting.
