Our publication seeks to explore Southern Appalachia at the intersection of ecological apocalypse and restorative futurity—
Who are we? How do we locate ourselves ecologically and politically in this overwhelming global moment? What transformations are opening within our region? What structural challenges impede these transformations? How has the Southern Appalachian imagination evolved within these conditions?

Transecologies: Kindly of a Queer Nature

Transition is not only a movement from one physical state to another, it is also a psychic and societal operation. It is the enfleshment of hope, possibility, and self-determination. What else might the queerness of Appalachia teach us about our hills and heritage? Can we lift the veil of separation hanging between our desire for a new future and the currents of our bleak reality? Can we project another world, another future, into the void left by industrial capitalism—a world characterized by ecological reciprocity? Can we transition? Will we transition?
