This interdisciplinary minor will offer students the opportunity to explore the U.S. South from a wide array of perspectives provided by different departments, instructors, and courses. Fields of interest include the peoples and cultures of the region as expressed through its rich history, literature, art, politics, and religions, among other topics. Students will also examine how the South as a distinctive place and concept has influenced the rest of the United States and the world and how, in turn, national and global movements and populations have affected the South.
