Imagining Rural Appalachia could be the best course I have taken at Middlebury so far. Professor Nash has real enthusiasm about the subject, and it shows in every class. The many mediums (music, poetry, novels) through which we examine Appalachia gave me a wholistic understanding of the place and of its people. We had a paper roughly every month, and each was manageable if I worked diligently weeks before the deadline.

Professor Nash is so incredibly knowledgeable about Johnny Cash and the American music scene in general. His essay prompts were always interesting, and he was the most accommodating professor I've had in my time at Middlebury. He also likes to have meetings with his students to review grades on essays, which I found to be really helpful.
THis class was so good, very Chill. We were required to do 2 small presentations on the country artist. So stress free and the presentations are in a way informal. Prof. Nash really teaches to show his passion for his work.
