Eisenberg, Associate Professor, University of South Carolina “Stump bases his text upon an impressive foundation of nearly 400 sources, writes in a clear manner, and provides valuable contributions to the fields of environmental law and Appalachian studies, while demonstrating an expert command of the principles of ecofeminism and ecosocialism.” -Barry L. Tadlock, Professor, Ohio University “Stump offers more than criticisms of environmental law and extractive industries and presents ways to redress harm and reimagine environmental and economic structures in Appalachia.” -Z. Zane McNeill, Scholar-Activist, Editor of Y’all Means All: The Emerging Voices Queering Appalachia “With Remaking Appalachia, Nicholas F. Stump offers a powerful critique of environmental law and policy in Appalachia and advances new models for a just transition toward alternative social and economic policies.” -Joseph D. Witt, Associate Professor, Mississippi State University, Author of Religion and Resistance in Appalachia “A must-read for anyone concerned about our reliance on unsustainable energy sources and environmentally damaging practices, and what can be done about it.” -Margaret Kiel-Morse, Faculty Services Librarian, Indiana University Maurer School of Law “Stump’s ambitious and challenging work reimagines the commons – the cultural and natural assets accessible to all members of society – in innovative ways but also imbibes from previous intellectual frameworks and Appalachia’s own robust activist tradition.” -Gonzalo Baeza, Author, with fiction published in Boulevard and The Texas Review “Stump’s review of environmental law is detailed, illustrating how it has done more harm than good through government complicity in, e.g., ‘institutional capture,’ built-in exceptions for polluting industries, and inclusion of extra, often implicit, subsidies for fossil-fuel businesses.” -Fred J. Hay, Professor of Appalachian Studies, Appalachian State University “The spirit common to all the strategies that Stump proposes involves, what the folklorist Mary Hufford would characterize as interrupting the monologue. Rather than elites (whether insiders or outsiders) dictating the issues to be addressed and how to solve them, these strategies entail sharing power between lawyers, activists, or whomever and the broader citizenry.” -Austin Miles, Author, with essays published in Undisciplined Environments and Edge Effects https://www.nicholasfstump.com/selectmedia daily 0.75 2022-11-03 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5eb4a5b0de6d8b1b2d4303d6/c57b4bcf-939e-4dcf-bc57-8ae8d762c414/1.jpg Select Media - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5eb4a5b0de6d8b1b2d4303d6/f86c74df-c78c-4336-adc6-d7f034e59946/2.JPG Select Media - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.nicholasfstump.com/bio daily 0.75 2026-02-17 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5eb4a5b0de6d8b1b2d4303d6/f7b14f1d-baf8-40c0-b35e-7265e21a18ad/IMG_0747_Original.jpeg Bio https://www.nicholasfstump.com/contact daily 0.75 2026-01-27 https://www.nicholasfstump.com/bookexcerpt daily 0.75 2023-08-31
