Op-Eds
Don’t dismiss Appalachia
I do not propose that their solutions to being ignored, like voting predominantly for Trump and other right-wing populists, are correct responses.

When home becomes a foreign place
Struggling to grapple with this difference, I set out to find mementos — pictures, journals, old scratched CDs — searching through the puzzle to see where I could fit in, and find a sense of belonging.

Op-Eds
