Many thanks to West Virginia University Press for sending over a copy of Storytelling in Queer Appalachia. 🤩

When we talk about Appalachia, we often don’t mention that there’s great work coming out from Appalachian academics. Appalachian studies is alive and well, including research in how Appalachian identity intersects with other identities.

West Virginia University Press recently put out an anthology that focuses on queer storytelling. It’s fascinating to see so many topics come together in this book. So if you are interested in a more in-depth academic work to read, definitely check out this book.
