  • Voices of Feminism Oral History Project: Roma, Catherine
    Voices of Feminism Oral History Project Sophia Smith Collection, Smith College Northampton, MA CATHERINE ROMA Interviewed by JOYCE FOLLET June 19 and 20, 2005 Northampton, Massachusetts This interview was made possible with generous support from the Ford Foundation. © Sophia Smith Collection 2006 Sophia Smith Collection Voices of Feminism Oral History Project Narrator Catherine Roma was born in Philadelphia January 29, 1948, the youngest of three children of Italian-born parents. Her mother completed high school and, once married, was a community volunteer. Her father graduated from Princeton University and Temple Law School, but when his own father died young, he left legal practice to run the family’s barbershops in Philadelphia and other East Coast railroad terminals. Practicing Catholics, Catherine’s parents sent her to Germantown Friends School K-12; she remains a Convinced Friend. In the late 1960s and early 1970s, Roma earned a BA in music and an MM in Choral Conducting at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, where she became involved in socialist-feminist politics and began organizing a feminist choral group in 1974. Returning to Philadelphia the following year to teach music at Abington Friends School, she organized and conducted Anna Crusis, the first feminist women’s choir in the US. In 1983 she undertook the doctorate in musical arts at the University of Cincinnati, where she founded MUSE, the community chorus she continues to lead. Under Roma’s leadership, MUSE is a vital group in what has become a national and international grassroots movement of women’s choruses. MUSE is recognized as a model anti-racist community organization and a progressive force in Cincinnati politics.

    A Celebration of America’s Music From Plymouth Rock to Rock & Roll Teacher’s Guide About the Show Take a journey through time and celebrate the multicultural nature of the music of the United States. Matthew Sabatella and the Rambling String Band perform the songs and tell the story that connects traditional folk music, spirituals, fiddle tunes, Appalachian music, ragtime, blues, rhythm and blues, jazz, country, bluegrass, and rock & roll. Beautiful projected images enhance this fun and unique experience for all ages. You'll sing and clap along as the story unfolds of how songs and musical styles emerged from encounters among diverse people and the American experience itself. Please note: This show addresses sensitive historical realities, including slavery, racism, and segregation. In doing so, it emphasizes the ways in which people, through music, have expressed themselves, survived hardships, and overcome challenges. The show demonstrates how unique forms of American music resulted from the interaction of diverse peoples, despite often unfavorable circumstances. America’s Music The music in America today is part of a continuum that reaches back to Colonial America and stretches across the Atlantic Ocean to the Old World. Music, instruments, and songs tell the story of the ordinary and extraordinary people who have populated the United States and propelled it into the 21st century. Not only do the lyrics directly reflect the hopes, fears, struggles, sorrows, triumphs, and humanity of the real people who lived history, but to follow the path taken by the music itself is to understand the great cultural stew that is the United States of America.

Taylor (Advisor) i ii Copyrighted by Nola Carrie Queen Isobe 2016 iii iv Abstract Pervasive Dialectal Perceptions in Education Contributing to Language Dedialectalization: Appalachian a Case Study Nola Carrie Queen Isobe School of Education, Carson Newman College May 2016 Appalachian English is a dialect of American Standard English. It is spoken in much of North Carolina, Kentucky, Tennessee, Virginia, West Virginia, and Pennsylvania. There is concern that this dialect could follow the path of dedialectalization through cultural unacceptance, generational changes, and saturation of newcomers to the area. Society views speaking proper English, the standard dialect, the route for much of the rural areas inhabitants to take to achieve better jobs and find social acceptance and a successful life. Society’s social view of an uneducated people speaking the Appalachian dialect prompts teachers to change students’ dialect to help them ensure success in school and society at large. Could teachers in fact hold perceptions of students that are accelerating the dedialectalization of the Appalachian dialect? This study will shed some light on the perceptions that educators have in regards to dialects, specifically the Appalachian dialect. v List of Figures and Tables FIGURE 1: Appalachian Regional Commission Map of Appalachia……………………….. 1 FIGURE 2: Robert Delany Map of American English……………………………………… 140 FIGURE 3: Summary of Dialect Samples Graph………………………………..…………..

  • “Rising Appalachia” and Traditional Folk/Pop As Social Protest
    3.6. Underground music in America’s heartland: “Rising Appalachia” and traditional folk/pop as social protest Michael Saffle1 Jordan Laney 1 Abstract Rising Appalachia, a quasi-folk, quasi-pop activist group fronted by sisters Leah and Chloe Smith of Atlanta, Georgia, strives to stimulate awareness of regional economic and political problems, and to enact changes involving the clear-cutting of forests, mountain top removal, and other ecologically and socially destructive activities. The Smiths and their collaborators stand apart from the increasingly globalized and commodified cultural spaces that surround them. Their do-it- yourself performative roots and style, together with the local musical practices and convictions they embrace, contribute to what might be considered avant-garde and underground character closely associated with one of America’s least prosperous and most neglected cultural heartlands. Several audiovisual recordings, all of them available on YouTube, exemplify the ensemble’s commitment both to traditional and local musical styles as well as to opposition in the face of political and social repression and exploitation. Keywords: Appalachia, traditional music, avant-garde, activism, underground music Rising Appalachia is a quasi-folk, quasi-pop activist group fronted by sisters Leah and Chloe Smith of Atlanta, Georgia. Since their first public performances in 2008 the group, built by the Smiths, has grown rapidly in popularity through social media and an extensive touring schedule; already they have performed in Costa Rica, the Czech Republic, Italy, and several other nations. Unlike most of the performers pro/claiming Appalachia as an identity or allied space, however, Rising Appalachia must be considered radical.
