In the spring of 2024, the World History Center’s Global Appalachia working group and the Global Studies Center will host a series of book discussions focusing on the region of Appalachia from a global perspective. The series theme is Interdisciplinary Perspectives on a Region in Motion. Participation in all three events in the series is not required but encouraged. All events will take place from 1:00-2:30pm (EST). Copies of the books will be available for those planning to attend the event.

Another Appalachia examines both the roots and the resonance of Avashia’s identity as a queer, desi, Appalachian woman while encouraging readers to envision more complex versions of both Appalachia and the nation as a whole.
