Professors in the Anthropology Department attended the annual American Anthropological Association Meeting in San Jose, California on November 14 – 18, 2018. Professor Mary Moran ran into Georgia Butcher ‘17 who was presenting at a poster session titled “Miner Community, Major Challenge: Identity in the West Virginia coal mining industry”
Georgia informs us she “is currently at the Science and Technology Policy Institute (STPI) which supports the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy as well as other federal agencies. I was presenting this poster as a case study from a project we conducted at the office. I found it fascinating that there was so much identity formation playing into the coal mining communities in West Virginia. “
