Quick Bio
Talmage has more than ten years of combined not-for-profit, nonprofit and public sector research and leadership experience. Before becoming an educator, he founded and operated a research consulting practice for small businesses and nonprofits in Arizona. He also serves as the editor-in-chief of Community Development. In his own journey through higher education, Talmage pivoted away from a traditional business school to join an interdisciplinary master’s program where he could apply industrial/organizational psychology to understand nonprofit and for-profit workplaces. He earned his Ph.D. in Community Resources and Development at Arizona State University and now teaches courses in local development, tourism development, organizational behavior/development, nonprofit management and leadership, and social entrepreneurship. At HWS, he serves as the faculty liaison for the Center for Community Engagement and Service Learning, faculty fellow to the Centennial Center (for Leadership, Entrepreneurship, and Innovation), and faculty support to a number of clubs and organizations on campus. His scholarship includes critical perspectives on community development and entrepreneurship, cultural capital, community well-being, lifelong learning, and community development and entrepreneurship education.
