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.
