Congratulations to Danille Christensen, who has just accepted a position as Assistant Professor of Public Humanities at Virginia Tech! She'll be teaching courses on material culture, folklore/folklife, and communication, with a special focus on Appalachia as a geographic and cultural region; working with graduate students pursuing the new Material Culture & Public Humanities degree (http://www.mcph.sova.vt.edu/); and finishing her book on home canning in the United States.

 

We are delighted that she will have the opportunity to build a program of her own, and we can't imagine anyone better equipped to do it.
