About
Becks is a queer scholar and musician, focusing their work on community engagement and placemaking through music and agriculture. As a musician, Becks works to create events that bridge divisions in communities. Their scholarship focuses on the inherent queerness of Appalachian music and the importance that music traditions hold, both in Appalachian communities and the queer community. They also work hands-on in local food systems, working on farm projects and learning about small-scale farming in mountain communities.
