You are invited to attend the kick-off meeting of the UK Appalachian Research Community. Our featured guest speaker, Ron Eller, is a professor in the Department of History and author of Uneven Ground, winner of the 2009 Weatherford Award.

Dr. Eller will give a 30 minute presentation about the challenges he faced in researching his book, Uneven Ground and the general difficulties of writing recent contemporary history while being personally involved in the subject matter. A thirty-minute Q&A will follow his presentation.

In the time remaining, the Appalachian Research Community will hold its kick-off meeting. Topics to be discussed include: planning regular meeting times; member recruitment; an Appalachian film series; and the upcoming Research Symposium slated for February 20, 2010.

The event will take place Wednesday, September 23 from 3-5pm in room 103 of the Main Building. Light snacks will be served.
