The Center for the Study of the New South in UNC Charlotte’s College of Liberal Arts & Sciences promotes discourse and dialogue on a rich and diverse constellation of topics and ideas relating to the New South.  Known as the period of regional history from the end of the Civil War to the modern era, the New South offers a bold tapestry of history, culture, social movements, and political issues ripe for reflection and study.  

In the spirit of collaboration and diversity, the Center promotes the interdisciplinary study of the New South through collaboration between UNC Charlotte faculty, the broader world of scholars, and the Charlotte community.  Appropriately located in Charlotte, one of the most dynamic and culturally-rich urban centers in the New South, the Center celebrates the interconnectedness of the arts, history, culture, literature, politics and social movements emerging from one of the most vibrant features in the American landscape.
