Dr. Madison has presented her research around the world, including an invited talk at Sweden’s International Science Festival in 2013. In 2015 she was invited to the White House by the Office of Engagement to participate in a policy briefing focused on the cultural and material needs of the American bisexual community as a part of the White House's LGBT initiative under the Obama administration. This invitation was extended based on Dr. Madison's scholarship on bisexual identities and activism
In 2012 Nora Madison was awarded the Emerging Scholars International Research Fellowship, a financial award to support dissertation data collection and analysis.
