<p class="x_x_MsoNormal">Congratulations to Dr. Mariah Marsden on today’s able defense of a highly multidisciplinary dissertation,
<i>Still Warm to the Touch: Tradition and Rural Print Culture in the Ozarks</i>. Mariah’s committee consisted of Dorry Noyes (folklore), Galey Modan (language and place), Beth Hewitt (American print culture), and Brooks Blevins of Missouri State University
(Ozark history).</p>
<p class="x_x_MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="x_x_MsoNormal">Next week Mariah begins a two-year stint at U of North Carolina-Chapel Hill as Postdoctoral Fellow in Grant Operations Management and Creative Engagement – where she’ll also have the chance to hang out with the UNC folklorists. Enhorabuena!</p>
