Annual Conference
Engaging Communities
33rd Annual
Appalachian Studies Conference
March 19-21, 2010
North Georgia College and State University
Dahlonega, Georgia
DESCRIPTION
This year’s theme is “Engaging Communities.” You are invited to submit a proposal that links to one of these six threads of various forms of engagement within Appalachian Studies:
• ACTION - struggles for social, environmental, or economic justice;
• ARTISTIC - expression through music, dance, folk art, handicraft, poetry, and literature;
• RESEARCH – the study of Appalachian people and places including history, place, identity, culture, way of life, and regional significance;
• PARTNERSHIP - strengthening cooperation among academia, grassroots groups, government agencies, community leaders, and other representatives in the region;
• SUSTAINABILITY - preserving the future of Appalachia; and
• PARTICIPATION- ensuring voices of diversity. Proposals directly relating to these six threads will be the first reviewed. Space permitting, other proposals relevant to Appalachia will be considered.
