Biography:
Michelle McClellan (Ph.D., Stanford) begins an appointment this fall as assistant professor of U.S. and public history. She is especially interested in issues of place and memory, and has embarked on a study of heritage tourism at the sites associated with the “Little House” books by Laura Ingalls Wilder. In her courses, McClellan, a Michigan native, encourages students to engage in public and community history. McClellan also specializes in medical history, particularly the history of addiction. She is completing a book that uses the figure of the alcoholic woman as a way to explore the complex intersection of gender and medicalization in modern American history.
