Professor Montrie Wins 'Scholar in the City' Award

Professor Chad Montrie has been named the 2005 'Scholar in the City' by the Mogan Cultural Center.  Prof. Montrie will complete a history of Lowell's "other" river, the Concord River corridor, using labor, environmental, industrial, and social perspectives. 

He also just published a related article in environmental history, albeit in a very different part of the country:  “From Dairy Farms to Housing Tracts: Environment and Race in the Making of a Memphis Suburb,” Journal of Urban History 31 (January 2005), 219-40.
