Sarah McMahon teaches survey courses on colonial and early national US social history, as well as thematic courses—both surveys and seminars—on family and community, women, utopia, and Maine environmental history.  Her articles on the history of diet and the culture of food in New England and the Midwest have been published in Historical Methods, William and Mary Quarterly, Agricultural History, and in essay collections on early American technology and Midwestern women.  Her current research focuses on coastal (and island) ecology, economy, and culture in Maine from the eighteenth through the early twentieth centuries.
