The Instructor
Prof. Mary Corbin Sies is an
Associate Professor and Director of Graduate Studies in the Department of
American Studies, an affiliate
faculty member of the Women's Studies Program, and
a member of the Historic Preservation faculty.
A specialist in material culture studies, she is an expert
in the social, cultural, architectural, and planning history of American
suburbia. In addition to HONR 259J (American Suburbia), she sometimes
teaches AMST 205 (Material Aspects of American Life), AMST 211 (Technology
and American Values), AMST 330 (Critics of
American Culture), and AMST 450 (Senior Seminar). In real life she is
lucky to be part of a great marriage. She and her spouse are
sports fanatics, avid readers, lovers of the great outdoors, and intrepid
explorers, especially of
obscure and remote architectural sites, beaches that don't have skylines,
and seafood joints close enough to smell the ocean. She resides in
Greenbelt, Maryland, and Gainesville, Florida.
