George L. Boggs writes about the work that various literacies help people accomplish. In addition to research on activists and teachers using composition and digital tools to take action in their communities, he explores traditional means of voicing community concerns found in American and especially Appalachian folk music genres. His TEDx talk “Where everything I am came from” is one example of his combination of traditional research and traditional music.
