Katie Stringer Clary

Katie Stringer Clary, Ph.D., teaches courses in interdisciplinary studies at Coastal Carolina University.

Since 2007, Katie has worked with museums in various capacities from docent to executive director. Katie researches the ethics and historical contexts of human remains in museums, dark tourism and ghost tours at historic sites, and the roles death plays, broadly, in the museum and public history worlds. 

Museums, Heritage, and Death, which Katie has co-edited with Dr. Trish Biers for Routledge, was released in 2023, and she also has two chapters in the volume. 

Katie works closely with community organisations to preserve and interpret their cultural heritage. She is also interested in the history of museums, museum administration, digital histories, and community engagement.
