View More Information on Live Event and Auction Catalog Alumni In The News UH Alumni Rosie McVeigh, Class of 2014, was recently featured on the ETSU Webpage, Spotlight Section. Rosie McVeigh, a native of Tennessee’s oldest town, Jones- borough, took a year and a half off between graduating from University School, located on the ETSU campus, and beginning her studies at ETSU. During that time, she traveled to Nicaragua, lived in Miami and worked as a model. Now a senior anthropology major with minors in both culture and health, and Spanish, McVeigh puts her academic interests to work in her hometown at the Ardinna Woods Arboretum. She holds a good deal of responsibility as an intern at the arboretum, which she manages. In making sure it is properly maintained, she works with Future Farmers of America students from nearby David Crockett High School, who visit the arboretum several times a semester to help clean up the walk- ways and weed the lots, and she coordinates an “Adopt-a-Plot” program.

Craig has traveled extensively throughout the United States, taking photos of areas that are less traveled. The details in the photos are breath- taking.

Hill: Christy Mahon Comes to Athens, Tennessee Christy Mahon Comes to Athens, Tennessee: The Playboy of the Western World in Appalachia C. Austin Hill In November 2013, I directed a production of Synge’s The Playboy of the Western World as part of the main stage season at Tennessee Wesleyan College. This production marked a number of firsts—my first production as head of the theatre program; my first production in the state of Tennessee, or indeed in the American Appalachian South; my students’ first encounter with an Irish play and playwright; and the first time in (at least) recent memory that audiences in our small town have been treated to Synge’s play. This production stayed true to Synge’s original, with the idiomatic language and Irish setting kept intact, and it sought to find cultural parallels organically.1 In keeping with this issue’s theme of exploring the Irish in the South, this paper examines the production as an instance of teaching students, audiences, and a community about Irish culture through artistic practice.

  • A Message from Commissioner Williams
    UPDATE NEWSLETTER DECEMBER 2020 A Message from Commissioner Williams Dear Friends, Surely, you’ve heard it by now, the Andy Williams classic from 1963, “It’s the Most Wonderful Time of the Year.” Every other Christmas and holiday season, I have loved that song. It is so happy, uplifting, and hopeful, but the song that seems to resonate as well this year is the more somber classic “In the Bleak Midwinter,” especially the James Taylor rendition. In talking with family, friends, colleagues, and clients across the state, as well as receiving countless emails from Tennesseans seeking help at all times of the day and night, I have been struck by some of the stories of bleakness and lack of hope. Messages like: “I feel so isolated and alone.” “I don’t have the same community that I use to have.” “My addiction has returned, and I feel hopeless.” “Will I ever feel at home again?” “I cannot wait until COVID is conquered.” “Where can I get help? Where can my child, friend, mother, father, sister, brother get help for substance abuse and mental illness?” “I did not know there were people that cared about me and could offer hope…” I have been struck, for we know that at this time of year, so many of our hopes, dreams, and wishes are beckoned to be brought in the light as we focus on the God given gifts we have, the gifts we give, and the gifts we receive. As the song ends, we are asked: What can I give Him, Poor as I am? — If I were a Shepherd I would bring a lamb; If I were a Wise Man I would do my part, — Yet what I can I give Him, — Give my heart.

Folk Medicine in Southern Appalachian Fiction A thesis presented to the faculty of the Department of English East Tennessee State University In partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree Master in English by Catherine B. Strain December 2002 Dr. Theresa Lloyd, Chair Dr. Anthony Cavender Dr. Roberta Herrin Keywords: Folk Medicine, Official Medicine, Appalachian Fiction, Lucy Furman, Mildren Haun, Emma Bell Miles, Catherine Marshall, Hariette Arnow, Lee Smith, Charles Frazier ABSTRACT Folk Medicine in Southern Appalachian Fiction by Catherine B. Strain The region of Southern Appalachia, long known for its colorful storytellers, is also rich in folk medical lore and practice. In their Appalachian novels, Lucy Furman, Emma Bell Miles, Mildred Haun, Catherine Marshall, Harriette Arnow, Lee Smith, and Charles Frazier, feature folk medicine prominently in their narratives. The novels studied, set against the backdrop of the rise of official medicine, are divided into three major time periods that correspond to important chapters in the history of American medicine: the 1890s through the 1930s; the 1940s through the 1960s; and the 1970s through the present.
