Welcome to the Official Website of the Southern Roundtable
The Southern Roundtable is an
academic workshop founded and maintained by graduate students in the
History Department at the University of Georgia in Athens (2010). And,
while we are officially recognized and funded by the History
Department, the goal of the Southern Roundtable is to provide a wide
range of scholars with an open, interdiscplinary intellectual
environment in order to workshop new research in the fields of Southern
History and Culture. Topical inquiries running the gamut from art,
literature, politics, and food to memory, the environment, and
warfare--so long as they maintain a historical context--are all
included and welcomed. In addition to regular workshops, Roundtable
organizers also maintain Bowtied & Fried: The Official Blog of the Southern Roundtable.
Here, Roundtable organizers and invited guest bloggers (who have
included Woody Holton, Bertram Wyatt-Brown, Charles Bullock III, Paul Anderson,
Robert Malone, Scott Nelson, and John Inscoe) offer an exceptional
degree of topical diversity including, but certainly not confined to
southern autobiography, Confederate guerrillas, dueling, hunting dogs,
southern politics, frontier medicine, and outlaw country music. In
conjunction with several university presses (UNC, LSU, UGA, UK), Bowtied & Fried also features reviews of the latest scholarship in Southern History.
For an up-to-date calendar of workshop meetings and current members,
please be sure to check the events and people pages, respectively. |
