RY CREEK APTS FOR RENT FOR RENT On a national stage in Chi- cago, Ill., while fi ghting pneu- monia, Gardner-Webb se- nior history major Elisabeth Moore talked about hillbilly stereotypes. And she won a prestigious award in the pro- cess. She was in high school when she fi rst realized how much the stereotypes about Appalachia had permeat- ed contemporary culture. Moore was born and raised in the western North Carolina mountains of Brevard. While in Chapel Hill, N.C., as part of the North Carolina All-State Honors Band. She remem- bers a girl asking her how she overcame the obstacles from growing up in Brevard. "Brevard, N.C., is home to the Brevard Music Center which is world-renowned; it hosts professors from Jul- liard, and that kind of thing," Moore explained. "It was as- tounding to me that, in 2012, she thought that we only played the fi ddle and the dul- cimer and didn't know how to pick up a clarinet. But that's kind of what got me interest- ed." Fast forward to November of this year, when Moore found herself at the National Colle- giate Honors Council Confer- ence in Chicago, so sick she wasn't sure if she would be able to present to judges the fi ndings of her extensive un- dergraduate research on the stereotypes of Appalachia. "I honestly had to rely on the Lord to do it," she refl ect- ed. "My thesis deals with the accuracy of the Appalachian mountaineer stereotype, which is very much what you think of when you consider the Beverly Hillbillies: back- wards, ignorant, illiterate, drunks who don't have much knowledge of society and ar- en't very civilized. Incest is a big part of this stereotype, as well as the idea that they have no community, that they're just kind of back in the back woods in the log cabin drink- ing moonshine and playing the banjo. I defi nitely enjoyed the opportunity to explore the prevalence of this stereotype today. I think this historical discussion is relevant." As an undergraduate sum- mer research scholar at GWU this year, she spent several weeks in library archives, pe- rusing every mid- to late-19th century publication that relat- ed to her research topic. "I kind of discovered that nobody had taken a look at this from a local perspec- tive, so I looked at western North Carolina and whether the stereotype created by local colorists in the 1880s and 1890s was accurate," she offered. "I learned, for the most part, that Appalachians themselves resisted that stereotype. They very much saw themselves as part of the New South. In some respects, the stereo- type does have foundation, but overall, it oversimplifi es Appalachian life and Appala- chian culture." She continued. "Stereo- types are one-dimensional and the reality of life is never one-dimensional; it's always more complex. And so my thesis is actually more that Appalachian life is far more complex than the stereotype portrays." After two hours of answering the judges' questions, Moore learned she had earned the "Best Presentation in Social Sciences" award at the con- ference. "It didn't really sink in until we got back, but I have honestly been most honored by the opportunity to repre- sent my school and my sub- ject in such a prominent way," she shared. "I was competing against other undergradu- ates from across the United States. I was a little fi sh in a really big competition in Chicago. It was nice to bring some recognition to our de- partment that does so many things so well. It was also great to bring some aware- ness to the subject I cover." She aimed her thesis at specifi c ways the stereotypes on Appalachia are incorrect. "There was this big stereo- type that mountaineers were all Anglo-Saxon people, and actually there were Afri- can-Americans, there were Native-Americans, there were Chinese in Appalachia during the 1880s," she explained. "The stereotype affects all aspects of Appalachian so- ciety, so I had to look at lots of different things: religion, community institutions, so- cio-economics. The common view was that they were iso- lated. It turns out they weren't. They had a hog trade with Paris, France, in the 1870s, which is not isolated at all. I looked a lot at socio-econom- ics. There was a very potent merchant class that partici- pated in international trade with the low enders in South Carolina. They weren't all just poor white people struggling to survive." Her achievements, she says, are a direct refl ection of Gardner-Webb's excellent programs and professors who have helped develop her research skills. "I couldn't have done the research I've been able to do without the professors who have helped me and mentored me along the way. Dr. Joseph Moore, Dr. Tom Jones, Dr. David Yelton, and Dr. Timothy Vanderburg all deserve credit for my suc- cesses," she refl ected. "I am the product of un- dergraduate education done right," Moore offered. "I'm not unbelievably brilliant. I'm the product of a brilliant institu- tion that prizes original un- dergraduate research and a lot of hard work."
