Southern Studies
Southern Studies is the interdisciplinary study of the American South. It brings together authorities from the humanities, social sciences, and sciences to explore the importance of region as a context of human experience. Through a variety of disciplines, including anthropology, art, history, literature, music, politics, religion, and sociology, Southern Studies seeks to investigate the challenges and contributions of our region, in order to situate the South in the fabric of American life. The Southern Studies Program at the Center for the Study of Southern Culture offers an undergraduate major and minor as well as a graduate program where students work in a two-year program that leads to a Master of Arts degree. As we face the challenges of globalization, Southern Studies is an important tool in understanding how particular places and spaces will provide ever-changing contexts for our future life.
