Desperate And Determined Men: West Virginia's Lincoln County Feud, Brandon Ray Kirk

Theses, Dissertations and Capstones

The Lincoln County Feud occurred between 1878 and 1890 in the Harts Creek community of Lincoln and Logan counties, West Virginia. The aim of this thesis is to determine the causes of the feud, explore factors that contributed to its escalation, and identify reasons for its conclusion. The Lincoln County Feud arose out of personal grievances between prominent residents Paris Brumfield and Canaan Adkins, intensified due to the changing socioeconomic nature of the Harts Creek community, transformed into a contest among merchants for economic and political supremacy, and concluded with the elimination or outmigration of anti-Brumfield factions. Late nineteenth century …

"We're Human": An Analysis Of Formal And Informal Training Methods For Direct Care Staff Working With Dual-Diagnosis Populations, Adam Clay Stephenson

Theses, Dissertations and Capstones

Direct care staff, or DCS, are individuals tasked with providing a number of care services to individuals with disabilities in various settings. This study focuses on a group of direct care staff working at a day habilitation program in central West Virginia. Training techniques used to prepare these workers for a diverse array of roles are reviewed comparatively and through a sociological theoretical lens utilizing perspectives from Bandura (1977), Laubach (2005), Marx (1964), and Wolfensberger (1983). Semi-structured interview results indicate that formal training is driven by a less valorous view of disabled individuals as a class than informal training; that …

Congressional Hearings: Immigration Frames In Expert Testimonies, Joshua Woods, C. Damien Arthur Phd

Political Science Faculty Research

This book offers a broad interdisciplinary approach to the changes in the U.S. immigration debate before and after 9/11. A nation’s reaction to foreigners has as much to do with sociology as it does with political science, economics and psychology. Without drawing on this knowledge, our understanding of the immigration debate remains mundane, partial, and imperfect. Therefore, our story accounts for multiple factors, including culture and politics, power, organizations, social psychological processes, and political change. Examining this relationship in the contemporary context requires a lengthy voyage across academic disciplines, a synthesis of seemingly contradictory assumptions, and a grasp of research …

“I Feel Like I’M Going Extinct”: Conversations About The Confederacy In South Central Virginia, Lauren R. Moore

ASA Annual Conference

Summer 2015 was a time of renewed attention to the persistence and prominence of the Confederate (or rebel) flag in the southern United States. As national attention to the flag increased, I was undertaking eight weeks of preliminary fieldwork in a Virginia town named for general JEB Stuart. This paper examines the conversations surrounding the flag and other Confederate symbols that took place in person and in an online group for county residents. In it, I examine how flag supporters draw on their feelings of cultural and economic marginalization to resist the flag’s removal. While racism undergirds some of the …

Marginalization And Resilience From Within And Without Appalachia: Views On Place And Disruption In Eastern Kentucky And Washington, D.C., Kirsten L. Crase

ASA Annual Conference

The people who reside amidst Appalachia's misty mountains experience geographical and place-based marginalization in a way that is unique in the American context, and that indeed has long helped define the very notion of geographical "outsider-dom." Yet Appalachians are not alone in experiencing this kind of place-based marginalization, even if it is a more primary source of marginalization here than in other places, where place-based marginalization often intersects more visibly with marginalization on the basis of race, religion, etc. But what might we learn from putting voices from Appalachia’s misty and marginalized mountains in a kind of conversation with voices …

Extending Gaventa: A Foucauldian Reading Of Power And Powerlessness, Judson C. Abraham

ASA Annual Conference

John Gaventa’s Power and Powerlessness: Quiescence and Rebellion in an Appalachian Valley uses political science’s “three faces of power” literature to investigate the fraught relations between residents of the Clear Fork Valley (CFV), a subregion of central Appalachia, and the American Association (AA), a multinational corporation holding most of the valley’s land and coal resources. Each face of power describes a different way actors may behave in a power relationship. Gaventa focuses on what Steven Lukes terms the third face of power, which emphasizes how elites use ideology to make the powerless voluntarily act against their own interests to the …

Part-Time Faculty In Rural Appalachia: Not What You Might Think, Ruby Robinson

ASA Annual Conference

Community colleges play an important role in post-secondary education, especially in the rural Appalachian region. Community colleges employ an overwhelming majority of part-time faculty. Part-time faculty are often perceived as having a negative influence on the quality of education within community colleges. They are perceived as temporary employees who are seeking full-time faculty positions and are therefore less committed to the mission of the community college and the rural Appalachian community.

This paper investigated the perceptions of the professional roles and relationships of the English part-time faculty at rural Appalachian community colleges. Part-time faculty were interviewed to identify the multiple …

Food Images In Traditional Appalachian Music: Inventing And Homogenizing A Regional Cuisine, Lucy M. Long

ASA Annual Conference

Old-time Appalachian tune titles and song lyrics frequently reference food and drink. These include specific dishes (for example, cornbread, biscuits, gravy, moonshine), ingredients (corn, cabbage, squirrels, chickens, sack of meal), and cooking implements (skillet, frying pan), as well as ways of obtaining food (hunting, farming, hoeing corn) and cooking it (frying, boiling). These references give descriptions of typical foods of the region, but they also offer an homogenized impression of what constitutes Appalachian foodways. While there are basic ingredients common throughout the area, there is a great deal of diversity in Appalachian foodways that reflects the diverse ethnicities, social classes, …

Motivations And Locavore Tendencies: A Preliminary Visitor Study Of Lexington, Kentucky Craft Breweries, Kenneth J. Berend Jr., Michael J. Bradley, James N. Maples

ASA Annual Conference

The emergence of craft beer in recent years has contributed to increased participation in beer tourism. However, there is a dearth of literature on brewery visitors. A key first step in researching beer tourism is to obtain an initial understanding of who is visiting breweries and why. This may provide information to better market target audiences. This information provides valuable insight for Kentucky brewery management and operations. Although this research concentrates on one state, it may enhance experiences at breweries in other states, increasing initial and repeat visitation. This study hopes to bring forth more information similar to the visitor …

Increasing Rural Tourism: A Demographic Profile Of Visitors To An Ohv Park In Rural Kentucky, Shaunna L. Scott, Michael J. Bradley, James Maples

ASA Annual Conference

As the foundation for their local economies continue to change, communities in rural eastern Kentucky continue to struggle economically. In efforts to help these rural communities recover, leadership and entrepreneurs have identified natural resources in eastern Kentucky as a footing by which to build a new economic structure related to outdoor recreation. As awareness of these areas continues to grow, many outdoor recreation resources and experiences are generating investment and recreation interest. In that outdoor recreation development is already in process in many places, those interested in facilitating these experiences have decisions to make regarding development and marketing. However, there …

Ecological Crisis And The Re-Enchantment Of Nature In Jaime Huenún’S Reducciones., Ida Day

Modern Languages Faculty Research

Chilean poet Jaime Huenún’s Reducciones (Reductions; 2012) explores the social and environmental consequences of European colonization since the second half of the nineteenth century, when southern Chile received thousands of German immigrants as part of a state-sponsored colonization plan. Confronted with large stretches of impenetrable native forests, the colonists began a deforestation process in order to prepare the land for agriculture and livestock farming, which left a profound impact on the society, economy, and geography of the region. In less than a century, the region spanning La Araucanía to Chiloé lost at least three million hectares of native forests. The …

Sharing The Sacred: A Tradition Of Mormon Public Education In Kirtland, Ohio, James Stuart Bielo, Kimberly Blake, Daniel Mcclurkin, Seth Boda

Southern Anthropological Society - Annual Conference

The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints (LDS) has a strong tradition of promoting formal education. This includes several initiatives detailing, preserving, and sharing church history at sites of significance, setting these sites apart as sacred space. In summer 2015 I conducted eight weeks of ethnographic fieldwork at the Kirtland Historic Village, a recreated 19th century town in northeast Ohio. Historic Kirtland’s status as a sacred LDS space, coupled with its high operating costs and low non-LDS visitor attendance, raises the question of why the site stays open to the general public and free of admission. The use of …
