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 the region, in order to situate the South in the fabric of American life. As people face the challenges of globalization, Southern Studies is an important tool in understanding how particular places and spaces will provide ever-changing contexts for the future life. The students learn skills of reading and interpretation, analytical writing, research, and oral presentation. They work with a small core of fellow students and faculty devoted to personal oversight of their work. The program makes use of lectures, class discussions, examinations, research projects, and field trips. Courses take advantage of the South's creative work in literature, music, art, and film in exploring the interdisciplinary meanings of the region.
