In this new SHA virtual program, we will bring members together to consider classic texts in Southern History. A panel of experts will discuss the content, context, and meaning of the text, both in the time of its publication and in our own time, and then open to the audience to further explore this canonical work together.

Hi All,
If your inbox is anything like mine today, you are being bombarded with #GivingTuesday requests. I'd like to ask you to take a moment and ponder the impact your donation could have for H-Net and H-South. We are a user-supported resource that touches the lives of so many in the humanities, at a time when institutional resources are being drastically cut and reallocated to other programs. If you are in a position to give today, or any day, we'd really appreciate your donation to keep our programming free and accessible to all members.
Thanks and take care

Hello all,
Thank you to everyone who messaged me about my post. We have found both a chair and two commentators for our proposed panel. I am incredibly grateful for the generosity and kindness of H-South scholars willing to share their time and expertise with myself and my panel members for next year's SHA annual meeting. We are excited to submit our proposal and hope we can share our research with you all next October.
Best,
Amanda
Hello all,
I know this is very last minute considering the deadline is this Friday, but myself and two others have formed a panel that speaks to issues of slavery, space, and borders for the SHA 2024 Conference. However, we are still needing a chair and commentator. The panel consists of myself, a recent PhD graduate from the University of Arkansas, Greg Beaman (bio) from Georgetown, and Cassie Werking (bio) from the University of Kentucky.
If anyone is interested in our panel and in serving in one of these two capacities, I would love to hear from you. Please email me at apj006@uark.edu.
