Many of us are fascinated by the complex history and culture of the U.S. South – though much of what we know may be limited to our immediate surroundings or to the often superficial images of the South in mass media. Completing a minor, or concentration of courses, in southern studies at PC leads to a deeper understanding of, and appreciation for, the diverse peoples and cultures within the southeastern United States.
At PC you’ll find a community of students and faculty who, like the program director, are “fascinated and perplexed by many aspects of southern culture and about southerners’ identities in general.” Join our interdisciplinary examination of the U.S. South from the colonial era to the present.
