In the popular imagination, Appalachia is a site of poverty, incest and strife. Online characterizations of Appalachia portray it as a place filled with cannibals, killers, and spirits that haunt the woods deep in the mountains. Loehr\u2019s project challenges the stigmas drawn from the region\u2019s systemic poverty and historical isolation by presenting a vision of Appalachian culture that\u2019s vibrant, nuanced and inherently bound to the mountains from which it emerged.<\/p>\n<p>This event is free and open to the public.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On&nbsp;Friday,&nbsp;April&nbsp;19 at 11:00 am in the Weisz Room of the Maples (110), outgoing MHC&nbsp;Undergraduate Fellow&nbsp;Iris Loehr, an English major in the Honors College, will present on her project \u201cThe Bridge [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1684,"featured_media":7831,"template":"","meta":{"_kad_blocks_custom_css":"","_kad_blocks_head_custom_js":"","_kad_blocks_body_custom_js":"","_kad_blocks_footer_custom_js":"","_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"_tribe_events_status":"","_tribe_events_status_reason":"","_tribe_events_is_hybrid":"","_tribe_events_is_virtual":"","_tribe_events_virtual_video_source":"","_tribe_events_virtual_embed_video":"","_tribe_events_virtual_linked_button_text":"","_tribe_events_virtual_linked_button":"","_tribe_events_virtual_show_embed_at":"","_tribe_events_virtual_show_embed_to":[],"_tribe_events_virtual_show_on_event":"","_tribe_events_virtual_show_on_views":"","_tribe_events_virtual_url":"","footnotes":""},"tags":[],"tribe_events_cat":[],"class_list":["post-7830","tribe_events","type-tribe_events","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.2 -
