Prerequisite: SOC 201 or SOC 202. Examination of the unifying cultural features of the Appalachian region. Beginning with an introduction to the geography of the region and its earliest European immigrants, the course follows the development of a distinct culture within such social institutions as kinship, religion, education, and the economy. More recent sub cultural distinctions along the rural-urban continuum and differences among Appalachian sub-regions are also explored.
