Center for Folklore Studies Leads
Appalachian Project
Krista Bryson, PhD candidate, English; Patricia Cunningham, director, social change, Office of Student Life; and Cassie Patterson, assistant director, Center for Folklore Studies, received a $15,000 grant from the Governor's Office of Appalachia for their project, The Appalachian Project, Ohio: How I Got to College. The interdisciplinary team of faculty, staff, and students is conducting fieldwork at Ohio State and in Ohio counties to learn from community members about the factors shaping the life choices of young people in the region, especially in relation to higher education. The project focuses on college students from the region: how they get to college, their strategies for negotiating the college experience, and their destinations afterward.
