Thesis title:
My thesis explores contemporary conflicts on the American left through the prism of grassroots activism, both current and historical, in the Appalachian region of the United States. I am interested in how developments in the labour movement, queer activism and working class– led feminism offer a potential blueprint for the cohesion of popular incarnations of identity politics with more traditional leftist quests for economic justice.
