Overview
Brigitte Boisselier is a chemist who served as a member of the Hamilton College Chemistry faculty as of the 2000–01 academic year. She later became publicly known for her affiliation with the Raelian movement and claims about human cloning, which attracted significant media coverage after her time at Hamilton.
Relevance to Research
Boisselier appears in the 2000–01 Hamilton course catalog as a special appointee in the Chemistry department. She is listed among the department faculty under Chair George C. Shields and is assigned to teach Chemistry 120 (Principles of Chemistry), offered in two sections with colleague Karen Brewer. She also appears as the instructor for a Biology 270 prerequisite chemistry course.
Notes
The catalog lists her under “Special Appointments,” suggesting a non-tenure-track or visiting position. Her later notoriety (Raelian human cloning claims, 2002–03) is not referenced in the corpus.
