Madeleine Muzdakis

About

I am a member of New York University School of Law's JD Class of 2024. My interests are in family law, criminal defense, and labor law. At Yale's Graduate School of Arts and Sciences, I specialized in the social history of early modern England and the Atlantic world. In particular, my work addresses the intersections of gender, violence, and the law. Historical foodways are likewise a focus, corresponding to my passion for the modern-day restaurant industry. My work experience ranges broadly from archival assistantships to bartending, however I see connections throughout all my areas of interest. I am perhaps most proud of my work teaching K-12 students through Yale Young Global Scholars and at the Yale University Art Gallery as a Wurtele Gallery Teacher. Today, I continue my work with youth as a student advocate taking cases with the Suspension Representation Project. I am also a contributing writer for My Modern Met, an artistic outlet which keeps me grounded in my passion for art, science, and history.
