Dr. Esther Clinton
The School of Cultural and Critical Studies mourns the loss of Dr. Esther Clinton, who passed away in July 2022. Dr. Clinton taught classes in folklore, narrative, cultural theory, and many other topics since arriving as a Visiting Assistant Professor in 2006. Her students and colleagues have planted trees and dedicated a park bench on campus in her memory, and donated to the Cocoon, a local shelter for abuse survivors.
