Race and Place in the American South

Since 2002 the department has held conferences on the theme of "Race and Place." These conferences have brought an impressive array of younger scholars to the UA campus. This year's panels include Change and Reaction in the Modern South, Race and Leisure in the New South, Southern Foodways and Folkways, Veterans and Vagrants in the New and Modern South, and Coping with Emancipation. This conference is free and open to the public.
