Center
announces new Southern Studies Curriculum
The Center now has the initial plans in place to coordinate a Curriculum
in Southern Studies that will be housed in the College of Arts and
Sciences at UNC. Through this new curriculum, UNC students will
have the opportunity to make the study of the South the primary
focus of their university education, in turn offering the University
and the entire South the benefits of teaching, research, and public
service from a new generation of southern scholars.
Southern Studies is an interdisciplinary approach to the study
of the South that invites students to combine persepctives from
history, literature, music, folklore, social sciences, and public
policy. Its methods are comparable to those found in other area-studies
programs like American Studies
Well-endowed with Southern Studies faculty
The heart and soul of any great academic program is its faculty,
and UNC already enjoys the world's best concentration of scholars
from a variety of disciplines who specialize in the South. Click
