Series in Race, Ethnicity, and Gender in Appalachia

Series concluded. See New Approaches to Appalachian Studies.

Both negative and overly positive stereotyped images of Appalachians betray reality. This series addresses the need to give greater voice and study to those who have been ignored or caricatured. In the past, Appalachians who are not of Celtic origin have been dismissed as not being genuine; likewise the role of men has been emphasized without exploring the full dimensions of gender. The series seeks scholarship related to these areas and encourages scholars to research areas previously overlooked.
