When Dr. Stacey Williams, an East Tennessee State University psychology professor, began to research the societal experiences of Appalachia’s LGBTQ community, she was already focused on her own study concerning the social stigmas encountered by these groups. But when a student expressed greater local interest in the subject, Williams took a deeper look at LGBTQ life in Appalachia and, today, devotes much of her time to promoting a better understanding of those regional issues. “Once I started, there was no looking back, because there is such a demand for knowledge about this population particularly in this region of the country,” Williams said. “Very little research is being conducted on the lives of LGBTQ individuals in Appalachia, and virtually none on those living in Northeast Tennessee.”
