Michael Rosenbaum

Background:

Michael Rosenbaum, Assistant Professor, received his PhD in Sociology from Indiana University in 2007.  His dissertation--The Jeep People: Identity, Consumption, and Culture in a Lifestyle Community--investigates the potential of consumption to provide people with interactive contexts that facilitate the grounding of a sense of self and community.  Dr. Rosenbaum's research and teaching interests include community and urban sociology, consumers and consumption, social psychology, qualitative methods, place, and media.  His future research will continue to investigate the roles that material culture, place, and media play in the grounding of identity and the social construction of community.   (E-mail:  Michael.Rosenbaum@du.edu)   For a copy of Michael's curriclum vitae, please click here.
