Thesis
'"I Dug on Your Grave the Best Part of Last Night": Murder and Male Control in Early Appalachian Folk and Southern Blues Music.'
This research comprises a multi-disciplinary approach to the motif of murder as a symbol of male control in the Folk and Blues of the American South. Appalachian Folk and Afro-American Blues are appreciated on a worldwide scale and the project will engage with continued interest and consumption of musical forms that often have male-on-female violence and femicide as central themes.
