Suzanne Marchand

Louisiana State University


History of Consumption, Chemical Industry, Early Modern Europe

Suzanne Marchand is LSU Systems Boyd (University) Professor of History at Louisiana State University, Baton Rouge.  She is the author of Down from Olympus: Archaeology and Philhellenism in Germany, 1750-1870 (Princeton University Press, 1996) and German Orientalism in the Age of Empire: Race, Religion, and Scholarship (Cambridge University Press, 2009), which won the George Mosse Prize of the American Historical Association.   She is also the coauthor of two textbooks: Worlds Together, Worlds Apart (W.W. Norton, 5th ed., 2017) and Many Europes (McGraw Hill, 2013), and many articles, chiefly in the history of the human sciences.  She served as president of the German Studies Association in 2012-14.  She comes by her interest in business history honestly, by way of her father, C. Roland Marchand, author of Advertising the American Dream (1986) and Creating the Corporate Soul (1998), and winner of the first Hagley Prize.  Suzanne keeps Roland's medal--of which he was very proud--in her desk.
