Thought
Informed by both psychoanalysis and feminism, Haaken's scholarship has focused on range of topics including the symbolic and political significance of recovered memories of childhood sexual abuse, storytelling and domestic violence, to psychological trauma.
Work
Community Activism
In 1993, Haaken collaborated with fellow scholar and activist Johanna Brenner in establishing In Other Words, a feminist community center and bookstore in Portland, OR's Killingsworth neighborhood.
Filmmaking
Haaken's work as a documentary filmmaker tends to focus on people who perform stressful jobs, as well as marginalized members of American society.
Guilty Except for Insanity: Maddening Journeys Through an Asylum explores the interconnection between the American criminal justice and mental healthcare systems by following the lives of employees as well as patients at the Oregon State Hospital who were admitted on the basis of a plea of criminal insanity.
