Presentation #1 Title
Children of the Downturn: Capability and ‘New Poverty’ in Central Appalachia
Presentation #1 Abstract or Summary
The coal industry downturn has created millions of new poor across all of Appalachia. As mining and its ancillary industries lost momentum, thousands of families lost their livelihood, causing massive intra- and inter-generational hardship. How do today’s Appalachian youths cope with the adversity they have inherited? How do we distinguish their “post-coal” poverty from the “coal poverty” of their parents and grandparents, and which solutions can we tailor to their generation-specific needs and desires? Our research offers both a new analysis of post-coal poverty and a transdisciplinary methodology for its relief and eventual dissolution in Central Appalachia. We reconceptualize the very idea of ‘poverty’ through the capability approach to ethical justice, which understands life-quality not only as material wealth and access to opportunity, but also in terms of substantive sociopolitical freedoms. The young post-coal poor Appalachians are not just impoverished, but also systemically unfree, in different ways from how their older relatives were unfree. We then coopt community-building strategies typically employed by religious leadership (“come to church, get free pizza”) to establish networks of social empowerment and capability development. The poor are the best judges of how to remove their substantive unfreedoms, so they ought to design the aid strategies that will affect their lives. In developing these recipient-centered solutions, we recommend a focus on “at-risk” youth in Alternative Education systems, who are both especially susceptible to post-coal poverty and in an unfavorable position to fix it.

Description
Humanity is recovering from a terrible virus that has put people on the brink of survival.
Scientists around the world are desperately trying to find a cure to at least contain its spread, and among them is Martin Lowry. His colleague Olivia goes missing in the woods near Bristol with important research, and Martin and his team go looking for them. They manage to get to the forest, but then unknown people attack their camp and steal all the equipment. In addition, while Martin is sleeping, he receives a strange sign, and the forest begins to behave strangely – as if he has a mind.
