Dr. Susan McClary is a Professor of Music at Case Western Reserve University. She holds a doctoral degree from Harvard University. Dr. McClary’s research focuses on the cultural criticisms of music in the European canon and contemporary popular genres. Her work engages with the signifying dimensions of musical procedures and works with the medium as a set of social practices. One of Dr. McClary’s most notable books is Feminine Endings: Music, Gender, and Sexuality (1991), 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.

Dr. McClary's publication Modal Subjectivities: Renaissance Self-Fashioning in the Italian Madrigal (2004) won the Otto Kinkeldey Prize from the American Musicological Society in 2005. A collection of essays was commissioned from Ashgate with the title Reading Music: Selected Essays by Susan McClary (2007). Structures of Feeling in Seventeenth-Century Expressive Culture and Desire and Pleasure in Seventeenth-Century Music were published in 2012.
