Make plans now to experience the special retrospective sessions offered during this 30th anniversary gathering of the Appalachian Studies Conference. With over three decades of Appalachian inquiry, activism, and service to celebrate, the 2007 conference promises to be a rewarding and exciting event.

Located in Maryville, Tennessee, Maryville College is ideally situated between the Great Smoky Mountains National Park (20 minutes away) and Knoxville (15 minutes away), the state’s third largest city. It is easily accessible by interstates 40 and 75, and is five minutes away from the Knoxville airport. A range of accommodations arvailable from mountain lodging in nearby Townsend, Tennessee, and convenient urban lodging in nearby Alcoa, will be announced in the fall of 2006.

INVITATION

You are invited to help “piece the Appalachian experience” by organizing a panel, creating a poster, producing a display table, submitting a research paper, developing a workshop, or putting together a roundtable discussion. We encourage sessions designed to promote dialogue, interaction, and participation among presenters and audience. We are especially seeking Appalachian topics that focus on past or current work regarding inquiry (for example, scholarship), service (for example, education or health), or activism (for example, issues that deal with peace, the environment, or sexual orientation).
