Susan McClary has taught in UCLA's Department of
Musicology since 1994. (Musicology, as distinct from Music, is
part of the Humanities Division of the College of Letters and Science.)
She was selected to receive UCLA's Harriet and Charles Luckman
Distinguished Teaching Award in 1997.
McClary has earned a reputation for originality
in the field by interpreting symphonies or popular songs as cultural
artifacts, much as art historians or English professors do with
painting, sculpture, novels and poetry. She
is best known for her book Feminine Endings: Music, Gender,
and Sexuality, which examines cultural constructions of
gender, sexuality, and the body in various musical repertories,
ranging from early seventeenth-century opera to the songs of
Madonna.
