Cary McClelland
Lecturer
BioCary McClelland is a civil rights lawyer and award-winning writer and filmmaker who brings to
his teaching a global experience of conflict resolution and a personal understanding of the role
of storytelling in dispute resolution.
As an attorney, Cary has worked primarily in defense of the freedom of expression and other
civil rights, advancing prominent cases related to election misinformation, digital privacy rights,
and disparities arising from Covid-19. He defended journalists and artists in various First
Amendment suits, including Buzzfeed’s publication of the Christopher Steele dossier. He
represented clients who fought to protect the private information of online users from
government seizure and challenged the Trump administration’s travel ban against Muslim-
majority countries. Most recently, he led a team of lawyers representing New York individuals
and organizations who fought on behalf of communities disproportionately impacted by the
Covid-19 in their action against the federal health agencies for their statutory failures during
the pandemic.
Prior to the law, Cary spent the first part of his career working on human rights and conflict
resolution initiatives throughout the Middle East, Latin America, Africa, and Asia. He trained
former child soldiers to be journalists in the Democratic Republic of Congo, worked alongside
opposition activists in Zimbabwe, and collaborated on advocacy campaigns in Egypt, Syria, and
Myanmar. He has a particular interest in traditional and restorative conflict transformation
processes, and so has studied and supported the United Nations truth commission in East
Timor and tribal courts in sub-Saharan Africa. Working with Witness and Google, he founded
and launched a Webby-Award-winning media channel highlighting and protecting the work of
citizen journalists around the world.
Alongside these efforts, Cary has continued to document and bring to life stories of people
persisting in turbulent times. His award-winning film, Without Shepherds, centers the lives of
six people fighting against extremism in Pakistan, including the nation’s current Prime Minister
Imran Khan as he launched his political party. Cary’s recent book Silicon City tells the story of
San Francisco transformed by the tech industry and the new American economy through
portraits of its citizens, past and present; it was chosen as one of Stanford University’s Three
Books of 2019. Currently, he is completing a book on New York City’s experience of the Covid-
19 pandemic and advancing another on grassroots populism in West Virginia.
His research focuses on the role of narrative and data in rights advocacy, structural reform, and
conflict resolution efforts throughout the United States and beyond. He is a frequently invited
speaker on topics of media, technology, democracy, rule of law and storytelling. -

Mark McGovern
Professor of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences (Public Mental Health and Population Sciences)
BioDr. Mark McGovern is a Professor in the Department of Psychiatry & Behavioral Sciences and, by courtesy, the Department of Medicine at Stanford University School of Medicine.
Most people who need health care do not receive it. And of those who do, wide variation exists in the quality of the care they receive. Gaps in health care access and quality are worse for certain groups, such as underrepresented minorities and persons living in low-resourced urban and rural areas, and/or in poverty. Enormous disparities exist in health care systems, both private and public. Dr. McGovern is a leader in using rigorous methods of dissemination and implementation (D&I) science to close these gaps in equitable health care delivery.
His mission is to get the best health care possible to the people who need it the most.
Dr. McGovern's primary focus is the implementation and sustainment of evidence-based interventions and guideline adherent care in public and private health care systems and organizations. Within the hub of the Center for Dissemination and Implementation (CDI) which he directs, Dr. McGovern is the Principal Investigator (PI) and leads three national dissemination and implementation (D&I) centers: The Center for Dissemination and Implementation At Stanford (C-DIAS); The Research Adoption Support Center (RASC); and, the Mental Health Technology Transfer Center Network Coordinating Center (MHTTC). The 3 centers are federally-funded, respectively by the National Institute on Drug Abuse (P50DA05402), the National Institutes of Health Healing Addiction Long Term (HEAL) initiative (U2CDA057717), and the US Department of Health and Human Services Substance Use and Mental Health Services Administration (H79SM081726). Dr. McGovern is also the PI on a multi-site adaptive implementation trial across a state system of care, which aims to integrate addiction medications for persons with opioid use disorder who are receiving services in specialty or primary care organizations (R01DA052975). In addition, he conducts D&I research and practice projects in federally-qualified health centers (FQHCs) across the State of California, in the Stanford Division of Primary Care and Population Health, and in specialty addiction and mental health treatment organizations nationwide. He leads, facilitates and/or actively engages networks advancing D&I science in health, including the NIDA Clinical Trials Network Translation & Implementation Special Interest Group, the NIDA Clinical Trials Western States Node Translation & Implementation Workgroup, the Stanford University Network for Dissemination & Implementation Research (SUNDIR), the VA Palo Alto HSR&D Center for Innovation to Implementation, and the Stanford Medicine Center for Improvement. He is on the Core Faculty of the National Institute of Mental Health Implementation Research Institute at the Washington University in St. Louis. Dr. McGovern is a collaborator on multiple projects as a co-investigator, consultant, or advisory board member. He is a mentor to numerous individuals across the country and at Stanford, from university undergraduates to mid-career faculty and clinical administrators at academic institutions and health care systems nationwide. -
