Dr. Scott Martin, Professor and Department Chair (Ph.D., University of Pittsburgh, 1990). Martin's scholarly interests center on 19th-century U.S. social and cultural history and U.S. alcohol and drug policy. In
his research and teaching, Martin emphasizes the need for policy historians to incorporate social and cultural history into
their analyses. He is the recipient of a Mellon Fellowship and in 1992 was a visiting scholar at the College of William and
Mary. His book, Killing Time: Leisure and Culture in Southwestern Pennsylvania, 1800-1850 (University of Pittsburgh Press, 1995), won the Phi Alpha Theta Book Award for 1996. His most recent publication is Devil of the Domestic Sphere: Temperance, Gender, and Middle-class Ideology, 1800-1860 (Northern Illinois University Press, 2008). The Monitor recently interviewed Dr. Martin about his latest book. He is currently at work on a study of the intersection between 19th-century U.S. theater
and politics.
Dr. Martin serves as co-principal investigator and co-academic director for Expanding America, a Teaching American History grant funded by the U.S. Department of Education designed to improve history education in the public schools of northwest
Ohio.
