Madri Hall-Faul, MSSW, PhD

Assistant Professor
University of Kentucky
Lexington, KY, United States

Madri Hall-Faul, PhD, MSSW is an Assistant Professor at the University of Kentucky College of Social Work. Madri completed her PhD at the University of Connecticut School of Social Work, where her research investigated the role of decentralized policy implementation decision-making in the fulfillment of social and economic rights for families in poverty. Prior to starting her PhD, Madri worked for more than four years at an Area Agency on Aging in Louisville, KY. Madri’s professional experience shaped her curiosity about the mechanisms of policy implementation decision making and power, leading to a dissertation focus on the role of social welfare policy design and implementation in realizing the social and economic rights of families in poverty in the United States. Madri’s research aims to understand and change how policies create inequity, specifically based on race and class. Policy, advocacy, human rights, and social work education are at the center of Madri’s broader research agenda. She has published or written manuscripts under review on topics including the right to food and the incorporation of food justice into social work education, refugee resettlement policy in the United States and opportunities for expanded resettlement capacity, and the experience of doctoral students as adjunct instructors. Madri earned her MSSW with a specialization in Couple and Family Therapy from the University of Louisville and her BS in Psychology from Centre College.
