Many Mountains, Many Musics Thirty-Eighth Annual Appalachian Studies Conference March 27-29, 2015 East Tennessee State University Johnson City, Tennessee

Home , Jean Ritchie, Mountain white, Music of West Virginia

Welcome to the Appalachian Studies Association’s Thirty-Eighth Annual Conference! I don’t use that exclamation point lightly. When I think of everyone coming together under the ASA banner, I think how many people from different states (and countries), backgrounds, ethnicities, and professions are here to, as the mission statement reads, “engage [in] dialogue, research, scholarship, education, creative expression, and action” to “foster quality of life, democratic participation and appreciation of Appalachian experiences.” Can I get an Amen? The conference was first held at East Tennessee State University’s campus in 1987, ten years after ASA’s founding. That same year ETSU’s Center for Appalachian studies and Services (CASS) was recognized as an “Accomplished Center of Excellence,” just three years after its founding. So in many ways, this conference is a 30th birthday party, a celebration of CASS and all that its staff past and present have accomplished, bringing Appalachia and Appalachian studies forward. So here is a big thank you to the staff of CASS and ETSU for bringing this conference together as well as to our other sponsors for their support. We have traveled generations since 1987, but maybe things haven’t changed too much. Writing about the 1990 conference in Helen, Georgia., John Inscoe (then an assistant professor of history and ASA’s program chair) noted that it was “the largest yet, both in terms of participants and attendance” (2).1 And writing about the 1993 conference, Norma Myers Riddle (conference chair and assistant director of libraries for Archives and Special Collections at ETSU) observed, “I have heard many complaints that the conference is too scholarly and too formal. Likewise, from others, I have heard the conference is not formal or scholarly enough. The fact remains that [ASA] is a hybrid organization . . . . My hope for the Association is that it can maintain some sense of shared purpose in spite of the diversity of its membership” (3-4). Well, ASA has grown ever larger and ever more diverse, and ASA’s new committees are working to make it more diverse and inclusive than ever—because reaching across insular boundaries has been and remains our community’s great strength. As ASA membership has continued to grow over the last decade, I have come to know more people and hear more perspectives, but I also know that I am not in touch with as large a segment as I once was. My challenge to each of us this weekend is to see how many new people we can meet, how many clique-like borders we can cross, and how many new voices we can hear, appreciate, and perhaps sing with.

Amen. Chris Green, 2015 Conference Chair

CONFERENCE HIGHLIGHTS

The theme of this year’s conference ― MANY MOUNTAINS, MANY MUSICS ― challenges you to view Appalachia from a fresh perspective and discover its emergence as a creative, dynamic force. A key component of this year’s conference is the CONCURRENT SESSIONS, which include a particularly strong offering of panels, papers, performances, roundtables, and workshops. Please consult the CONCURRENT- SESSION SCHEDULE for a listing of sessions. The conference’s MANY MOUNTAINS PLENARY – moderated by Randy Wykoff, Dean of the ETSU College of Public Health – brings together a noteworthy panel to discuss “Opportunity & Enterprise in Appalachia.” Wykoff will be joined by Earl F. Gohl, Federal Co-Chair of the Appalachian Regional Commission, and Sandra Mikush, Interim Executive Director of the Mary Reynolds Babcock Foundation. Ms. Mikush held various fundraising and management positions in nonprofit organizations before joining the Foundation. This year’s KEYNOTE speaker is Margo Miller, executive director of the Appalachian Community Fund (ACF). Showing how Central Appalachians engage in social, economic, racial, and environmental justice, Miller will tell a story of community empowerment and transformation by lifting up the successful work of ACF grantees and will talk about the ACF’s role for the past 28 years in helping to build the capacity of grassroots organizations in the region. With the saying “Change, not Charity” as ACF’s guiding principle, Miller will help us think deeply about how we can empower our communities to create just economic circumstances during this time of Appalachia’s economic transition. The MANY MUSICS RECEPTION, MANY MOUNTAINS BANQUET, and ASA AWARDS are on Friday evening, to be followed by a MANY MUSICS SQUARE DANCE. There is also JAMMING IN THE CAVE on Friday and Saturday evenings for those who wish to partake. On Saturday, the Mary B. Martin School of the Arts at ETSU presents RICKY SKAGGS AND KENTUCKY THUNDER in concert. Deeply rooted in tradition but with an innovative edge, this Many Musics performance embodies the best of Appalachia. On Sunday morning, join ETSU’s Bluegrass, Old Time, and Country Music Studies Program at the MANY MUSICS: BISCUITS & BLUEGRASS GOSPEL HOUR. What better way to conclude the 2015 Appalachian Studies Association Conference!

NEW THIS YEAR!

As a member of the Appalachian Studies Association, you are invited to join your ASA colleagues at the 2015 MEMBERSHIP FORUM on Saturday, 11:00-12:00, in the D. P. Culp Auditorium. The Forum is more than a business meeting. It is an opportunity to learn about ASA and participate in shaping its future. This year, the actions of the Diversity and Inclusion Committee will be highlighted, along with a new ASA initiative, YOUNG APPALACHIAN LEADERS AND LEARNERS – Y’ALL.

Y’ALL is an ASA committee that facilitates connections between young people in Appalachia. Y’ALL encourages engagement, leadership, and collegiality. Y’ALL representatives Brittany Means and Kathryn Engle will introduce Y’ALL at the Forum. ASA members interested in the mission of Y’ALL are invited to an organizational meeting on Saturday at 5:30 pm in the ETSU Cave (Culp Center). There is also a Y'ALL mixer after the Ricky Skaggs concert, at approximately 10:00 pm in the bar at Wellington's in the Carnegie Hotel.

54 PRELIMINARY CALL 2016 APPALACHIAN STUDIES ASSOCIATION CONFERENCE

Voices from the Misty Mountains: Diversity and Unity, a New Appalachia March 18-20, 2016 Shepherd University Shepherdstown, West Virginia

Appalachia is a region unique and special, with a heritage and culture stretching back centuries and steeped in traditions that we all attempt valiantly to maintain, and yet we are also a people and a region changing as rapidly as the technology that connects many of us across this land. The “voices” of Appalachians are diverse and spread across the country, and not just from the geographic region alone. We represent groups that are divergent yet common, whether we call ourselves Affrilachians, Appalachians, or Southern mountaineers. The 2016 ASA Conference will focus on the changing face of the region, the diverse groups that constitute who we are, the educational and community institutions that either accommodate or react to the changes that challenge us and call for our best selves, and our efforts to protect the very mountains that are the principal source of our commonality and identity. We invite your submissions for any sessions, individual papers, or other types of presentations that address the theme, Voices from the Misty Mountains: Diversity and Unity, a New Appalachia.

Held on the campus of Shepherd University, a gateway to the mountains from the eastern urban area of the country’s largest population centers, the 2016 conference is sponsored by the Appalachian Studies Program at Shepherd, the WV Humanities Council, the Performing Arts Series at Shepherd, Shepherd University, and the University Foundation. Our keynote speaker will be Kentucky Poet Laureate Frank X Walker, and we will utilize the many recreational and historical resources of this extraordinary part of the country for the 2016 Conference.

Shepherd University sits on a high buff above the Potomac River, sixty-five miles from Washington DC. Shepherdstown, the oldest town in West Virginia and originally surveyed by George and Charles Washington, is a living museum located in one of the most scenic and lovely settings in the state. Noted for fine dining and historical ambiance, Shepherdstown is across the river from Sharpsburg, MD, and the C&O Canal Center; we are home to the Civil War Institute; twelve miles from Harpers Ferry; nine miles from Charles Town and Virginia/West Virginia horse country; and we are both a historic center and nature center for river rafting and scenic exploration. Full accommodation information will be available in fall 2015.

The Melungeons MARSHALL UNIVERSITY Wayne Winkler, series editor N. Brent Kennedy, founding editor

SOUTH CHARLESTON, WEST VIRGINIA SometimeS called “melungeonS,” the earliest nonnative “Americans” to live in Appalachia were (perhaps) of Mediterranean extraction and of a Jewish or Muslim religious persuasion. For fear of discrimination since “persons of color” were often disenfranchised and abused—the Melungeons were reticent regarding their heritage. In fact, over time, GRADUATE many Melungeons themselves “forgot” where they came from. Hence, today, Melungeons remain the “last lost tribe in America,” even to themselves. This series explores the origins, HUMANITIES history, and culture of these once-forgotten people. www.marshall.edu/humn 304-‐746-‐2022 PROGRAM Collaboratively exploring the arts, history, culture, and literature in an open, experimental, multidisciplinary environment.

NEW SERIES : PLACE MATTERS

Dwight Billings, series editor

Now, perhaps more than ever—in the contexts of a globalizing world and internationalizing college curricula—place matters. This series explores the history, social life, and cultures of Appalachia from multidisciplinary, comparative, and global perspectives. Topics of interest include diversity and social inequalities, geography and political economy, critical regionalism and trans-regional dynamics, social movements and activism, migration and immigration, the environment, social problems and public policy, efforts to confront regional stereotypes, literature and the arts, and the on-going social construction and re-imagination of Appalachia. The goal of the series is to place Appalachian dynamics in the context of global change and to show why place-based and regional studies still matter.

Celebrating over 25 Years of Change, not Charity in Central Appalachia! Join us on our Journey Toward Justice. Together, we can make a difference!

On the Journey Toward Justice our vision is to work for the day when Appalachia's land, air and water are saved from destruction, and contamination; where the economy is stable, strong, and provides diverse employment opportunities for all people; where government and industry are accountable to human needs without exploitation of people and their health; where justice, equity, appreciation of diversity and celebration of our common humanity replace racism, sexism, heterosexism and other "isms"; where wealth and resources are shared equally; where all children grow up free from hatred and violence; and where justice overcomes oppression in any form.

We’d love to hear from you! We invite you to stay connected with ACF and to share your stories and information. Visit our website and read about our Appalachian Heroes, explore our funding history maps and regional calendar. You can also contribute to our bi-weekly blogs about what’s going on in the social justice world in Central Appalachia.

Struggle for the Soul of the Postwar South White Evangelical Protestants and Operation Dixie ELIZABETH FONES-WOLF AND KEN FONES-WOLF In 1946, the Congress of Industrial Organizations (CIO) undertook Operation Dixie, an initiative to recruit industrial workers in the American South, which resulted in a fraught encounter with the evangelical Protestantism and religious culture of southern whites. “A landmark study. The authors use this insightful and often surprising history to shed new light on the failure of Operation Dixie between 1946 and 1953. In doing so, they deepen our understanding of the relationship between evangelical Christianity and southern labor history, as well as between religion and working-class con- servatism, race relations, and anti-unionism.”—Jarod Roll, author of Spirit of Rebellion: Labor and Religion in the New Cotton South
