Over the course of this semester so far, we have seen how appalachia, perhaps to a greater degree than any other american region is defined to the world and in the minds of its residents by outsiders.

A classic example of this, i think, is the recent bestselling book, j. D. Vances hillbillyology, a book well turn to later on in this lecture. For these reasons, its beholden on us,
