As an Appalachian Kentucky native, Caleb Pendygraft has spent his academic career interested in the intersections of reading, writing, mean-making, and identity. Particularly, he is curious about how we embody our literacies in places, and researches LGBTQ Appalachian literacy practices. His scholarly work explores how becoming literate involves a vast diversity of non-human agents. Making use of new materialist philosophies, his pedagogy and writing treats literacy as an active participatory force in our everyday life. His teaching repertoire is interdisciplinary, having taught a number of classes: American Culture; Writing, Rhetoric, and Composition courses both at the undergraduate and graduate levels; Literature; Women's, Gender, & Sexuality Studies; along with Business Communications and Technical writing. You can find his publications in KillJoy Magazine and Appalachia Journal. Recently, he has a coauthored chapter in Storytelling in Queer Appalachia (2020, WVU Press). He has two chapters in process. One which explores a theoretical concept he coins "embodied technologies" and another that examines new materialism in Appalachian LGBTQ Anthropocene literature. Outside the Academy, Caleb is a proud cat dad and loves to be out in nature.
