Biography

Teri Chettiar is an Associate Professor in the Department of History at the University of Illinois. She holds a Ph.D. from Northwestern University, obtained in 2013. Chettiar specializes in the history of the human sciences, focusing particularly on the social and political implications of emotional and mental health in modern Britain. Her research intersects with gender studies, investigating how these areas influenced marginalized identities and movements for social and sexual reform. Her recent publication, 'Intimate State: Emotional Life Became Political Welfare-State Britain' (Oxford University Press, 2022), explores the evolution of state-supported mental health initiatives and their impact on notions of emotional intimacy and monogamy throughout the latter half of the twentieth century. Chettiar has contributed articles to various journals such as History of Human Sciences and Journal of British Studies, and she is currently engaged in projects that examine intergenerational trauma and disparities in the diagnosis and treatment of attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) in Canada and the UK.
