WEATHERED MOUNTAINS: A QUALITATIVE STUDY OF WEST VIRGINIA WOMEN AND THEIR PERCEPTIONS OF STRENGTH, LAND, AND WOMANHOOD A thesis submitted to the Graduate College of Marshall University In partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts In Sociology by Danielle Renee Mullins Approved by: Dr. Kristi Fondren, Committee Chairperson Dr. Maggie Stone Dr. Donna Sullivan Marshall University May 2018 © 2018 Danielle Renee Mullins ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii iii DEDICATION I would like to dedicate this thesis to the sixteen West Virginia women who shared their stories, experiences, relationships, and childhoods with me, and to all the strong Appalachian women who demonstrate their grit each and every day. iv ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I am thankful and appreciative of all those who assisted in my research and writing process for this thesis. Particularly, I would like to thank Dr. Kristi Fondren for her guidance, patience, and fighting spirit throughout my time here. Her course, Feminist Social Theory, inspired this work. Dr. Fondren has not only been an excellent advisor and thesis chair, she has also been a dear mentor and a friend. I would also like to extend my gratitude to Dr. Maggie Stone and Dr. Donna Sullivan for their participation on my committee, mentorship, and many conversations over these years. I am incredibly proud of and grateful for the three strong, knowledgeable women who served on this committee. I would like to extend a special thank you to (soon-to-be Dr.) Jessica Scott for helping introduce me to some amazing women in my state, for encouraging me to always pursue the challenge, and for her years of mentorship and friendship. I would also like to extend special gratitude to Clara Lehmann for her insight and guidance with developing my instrument, as well as her fierce dedication to her place and people. Also, a special thank you to Dr. Kat Williams for talking through the historiography portions of this paper. I would also like to thank my partner, Zachary, for his patience and support throughout the duration of my degree program and this process. Thank you for defying traditional gender roles, for growing to love our shared culture together, and for listening to me explain Wallerstein twelve too many times. My sister, Kristyn, for showing me the love and support of family. And finally, my best friend, Kady Pack, for being my example and paving the way a few years ago. v TABLE OF CONTENTS Committee Signatures ..................................................................................................................... iii Dedication… .................................................................................................................................. iv Acknowledgements… .................................................................................................................... v List of Tables ................................................................................................................................. ix List of Figures ................................................................................................................................. x Abstract .......................................................................................................................................... xi Chapter One: INTRODUCTION…………………………………………………………………..1 Chapter Two: BACKGROUND, LITERATURE REVIEW, AND THEORY……………………7 Defining the Region ................................................................................................ 7 Relevant Demographic Information ........................................................... 7 A History of Appalachian Women ............................................................. 9 Spaces for Deviance .................................................................................. 13 Constructing Appalachia and Its People ............................................................... 15 Characteristics of the Culture: Narratives and Identities .......................... 15 Regional Masculine Hegemonies ............................................................. 18 Traditional Gender Roles .......................................................................... 20 Theoretical Background ........................................................................................ 23 Feminist Theories…………………………………………...…………….23 vi Chapter Three: METHODOLOGY ............................................................................................... 26 The Sample ........................................................................................................... 27 The Instrument ...................................................................................................... 30 In-Depth Interviews .............................................................................................. 31 Data Analysis Procedures ..................................................................................... 33 Chapter Four: ANALYSIS ............................................................................................................ 35 Defining the Culture ............................................................................................. 35 Does an Appalachian Subculture Exist?

    Case: 5:17-cv-00319-REW-CJS Doc #: 66 Filed: 09/28/18 Page: 1 of 24 - Page ID#: 2843 UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT EASTERN DISTRICT OF KENTUCKY CENTRAL DIVISION LEXINGTON DR. RAYNOR MULLINS, ) ) Plaintiff, ) ) No. 5:17-CV-319-REW-CJS v. ) ) STEPHANOS KYRKANIDES, ) OPINION AND ORDER Individually and in his Official Capacity ) as Dean of the University of Kentucky ) College of Dentistry, ) Defendant. *** *** *** *** Defendant Stephanos Kyrkanides, in both his individual capacity and his official capacity as Dean of the University of Kentucky College of Dentistry (“UKCOD”), moves for summary judgment on Plaintiff Dr. Raynor Mullins’s First Amendment retaliation Complaint brought under 42 U.S.C. § 1983. DE #44. The motion is fully briefed (DE ##49, 50), with extensive citations to the lengthy record. Summary judgment practice is not about fact-finding, but rather assessing whether there are material facts in genuine dispute to be resolved via trial. Here, the epic story of academic intrigue and the place of free speech at the UKCOD, involving contested interactions between Dr. Mullins, Dean Kyrkanides1, and others, requires a trial. The Court does not pick between reasonably supported versions, and a jury will decide what actually happened. Except as to a limited part, the Court DENIES the motion for summary judgment. 1 The Dean arrived at the UKCOD in 2015 at the start of the academic year. See DE #49-13 (Kyrkanides Dep.) at 24–25. He was new to the Commonwealth, having held prior posts in the Department of Dentistry at the University of Rochester and the School of Dental Medicine at Stony Brook University, both in New York.

  • On the Celtic Languages of the British Isles: a Statistical Survey
    On the CELTICLANGUAGES ilz the BRITISHISLES; n STATISTICAL SURVEY.By E. Q. RAVENSTEIN,EsQ., F.R.G.S., kc.* [Read before the Statistical Society, 15th April, 1879.1 OF all subjects of statistical inquiry, that relating to the nationality of the inhabitants of one and the same State, is one of the most interesting. In some of the great empires of the continent it is of vital importance. Until the beginning of this century, a process of amalgamation and consolidation had been going on in most countries of Europe, the weaker nationalities adopting the languages of their more powerful neighbours. But the spirit of nationality is abroad now. In its name have been carried on some of the most tremendous wars our age has witnessed, and even the smaller national fractions are loudly asserting their existence. The reign of one universal language appears to be more remote than ever before. It appeared to me that an inquiry into the geographical dis- tribution and numerical strength of the non-English speaking inhabitants of the British Isles might prove of interest to the members of the Statistical Society. Hence this paper. Fortunately, a question of language is not likely in these islands to lead to civil discord or dismemberment. No one dreams of ousting English from the place of vantage it holds, and even though the Irish Home Rulers succeeded in setting up a parliament of their own, its pro- ceedings would have to be carried on in English. Yet, in spite of the comparative insignificance of the Celtic tongues which survive amongst us, this question of race and language abounds in interest.
