DESCRIPTION:The Global Appalachian Reading Group for Spring 2026 examines t
 he complex intersections of regional identity\, connectedness and disconne
 ctedness to lived spaces\, and environmental justice as they pertain to Ap
 palachia and its connections to the wider world. Through thoughtful engage
 ment with The Appalachian Trail by Philip D'Anieri\, No Last Place to Rest
  by Dineo Skosana\, and Flight Behavior by Barbara Kingsolver\, participan
 ts will explore the spaces that comprise and define Appalachia\, reflect o
 n the theme of dispossession within the context of Appalachia\, and discus
 s global climate change through displaced species that find a home in Appa
 lachia. This reading group invites participants to connect local narrative
 s with global contexts\, fostering deeper understanding and critical conve
 rsations about place\, space\, identity\, sustainability\, and the future 
 of Appalachian communities.\n\nThe series theme is Spaces.
