With the moniker “Southern Directurg,” Sloan is passionate about uplifting communities in the rural Southeastern U.S. and Lower Appalachia through education, community resources, empathy, and art.

Sloan’s research specialties are in ethnodramaturgy (the intersection of ethnomusicology and dramaturgy) and survivors’ art, with projects ranging from cabarets and operas of the Shoah to pinpeat orchestras after the Khmer Rouge genocides to the terrorist bombing of Pan Am Flight 103 over Lockerbie, Scotland.
