Grasslands Grown: Sense of Place and Regional Identity on North America's Northern Prairies and Plains

Molly Rozum, as a Fellow during the Fall of 2000, researched and presented a lecture entitled "Grasslands Grown: A Twentieth Century Sense of Place on North America's Northern Prairies and Plains." Her research involved defining "regionalism" and "sense of place" using research methods in collective biography. She also brought to Marshall a photography exhibit capturing the aftermath of the 1998 tornado at Spencer, South Dakota. This exhibit displayed the rhythm and culture of small town life through Cedric Chatterley's photojournalism. Rozum received a Ph.D. in history from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in the spring of 2001. She began teaching at Doane College in Crete, Nebraska in the fall of 2001.
