Harvard Folklore Symposium: Appalachia Betwixt & Between

April 17, 2024

Looking forward to learning from colleagues and presenting at Harvard Folklore & Mythology's Symposium this weekend! I'll be speaking on how expressive culture (aka folklore) was used by public educators during the 2018-2019 West Virginia Educators' Strike to bolster worker power, teach the public, and forge a new reality, and how those lessons still resonate today.

Thank you to Sarah Craycraft for the invitation and organizing work!
