The Citation Statement As Feminist Citational Praxis, Melissa Chomintra

Feminist Pedagogy

A key component of feminist information literacy and feminist research is the development of a citational praxis. One of the ways that students can foster their citational praxis is by writing a citation statement as part of their iterative research process. The purpose of this original teaching activity (OTA) is to teach students how to develop a citational praxis. The activity provides students with an introduction to citational praxis, the purpose of a citation statement, and the tools and strategies to implement it in their own research.

Teaching During A Pandemic: Using Digital Visual Storytelling As Chicana/X/ And Latina/X Feminist Pedagogy, Magaly Ordonez

Feminist Pedagogy

This article offers critical pedagogical insights and experiences using StoryMaps as a queer trans* Chicanx educator during the time of the COVID-19 pandemic. I offer StoryMaps as an original teaching activity rooted in Chicana/x feminist epistemologies and pedagogies that prioritize the voices of marginalized communities as sources of knowledge. I propose the pedagogical uses of digital storytelling as a Chicana/x feminist tool for creative critical thinking and shift in learning spaces that go beyond traditional essay-style writing assignments. It builds from my experience teaching undergraduate courses at a predominantly white institution in the Midwest.

Peer Power In Rural America: Community-Led Hiv Prevention Strategies From Appalachia And Beyond, James Arthur

Dr. Jay W. Boland Research Day

This abstract explores how peer and community-led HIV prevention strategies are transforming access, engagement, and equity in rural America, with a focus on Appalachia. Drawing on findings from a systematic review of 15 peer-reviewed studies (2014–2025), we highlight effective models like peer navigation, social network recruitment, mobile outreach, and community mobilization that have increased HIV testing, PrEP uptake, and care linkage among rural and underserved populations. The session will showcase evidence from programs led by and for marginalized communities such as GBQMSM, TGNB individuals, people who use drugs, and youth in regions historically excluded from mainstream HIV efforts. Participants will …

Mental Health Equity For Sexual And Gender Minority Students At A Rural University: Evidence From Etsu’S Healthy Minds Study, Richard Mutua Kilonzo

Dr. Jay W. Boland Research Day

Universities nationwide are reporting rising psychological distress among students, yet inequities in mental health for sexual and gender minority (SGM) students—those whose sexual orientation or gender identity differs from the majority—remain poorly understood in rural settings. This project examines whether SGM students at a rural public university in Central Appalachia experience greater mental health burden, distinct barriers to care, and less affirming service environments than their non-SGM peers, testing the hypothesis that SGM students have both higher symptom levels and greater unmet need for care. Guided by Minority Stress Theory (which links stigma-related stressors to health outcomes) and a social–ecological …

Evaluating Appalachian Farmacy: Impact Of A Rural Produce Prescription Program On Food Security And Health Outcomes, Andrea Nutsugah

Dr. Jay W. Boland Research Day

Introduction: Food insecurity remains a critical public health concern, particularly in rural, low-income communities. Produce prescription programs have emerged as a strategy to improve food access and promote healthier eating behaviors. This study presents an evaluation of Appalachian Farmacy, a produce prescription program in Northeast Tennessee designed to increase fruit and vegetable consumption among individuals receiving Medicaid, Medicare, or Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) benefits. Methods: Program evaluation methods included interviews for process evaluation and surveys for impact evaluation. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with program participants to evaluate process measures and explore their experiences, perceptions of the program, and barriers …

Appalachian Therapies, Emma Marie Wilson

Dr. Jay W. Boland Research Day

It is predicted that by 2050, deaths due to antibiotic resistance will supersede cancer and cardiovascular disease as the number one cause of death in the world. The present research aims to study the polymicrobial interactions of microbial communities in the Appalachian region. Microbial samples were obtained from mountains surrounding East Tennessee State University, isolated and screened against common human opportunistic bacteria. One particular bacterium, S1S4-10, was found to be antagonistic against Bacillus subtilis and created zones-of-inhibition on agar media. Reverse testing found that the B. subtilis did not have a counter inhibition against S1S4-10. Co-cultures found that S2S4-10 could …

Examining The Need For A Regional Crime Gun Intelligence Center: Enhancing Firearm Investigations Through Real-Time Intelligence, Sandra Darko, Bamidele Adeolegan Ogundipe

Dr. Jay W. Boland Research Day

Gun violence continues to be a serious public safety issue in rural areas of East Tennessee, southwest Virginia, and western North Carolina. While these communities face many of the same firearm-related crimes seen in larger cities, the challenges are often greater due to wide geographic coverage, limited law enforcement resources, and weak coordination between agencies.
