The Center for the Study of the American South is a hub for interdisciplinary research, scholarship, and teaching about Carolina’s complex home region. We are committed to honest reckoning with the past and deep engagement with an evolving South. CSAS connects campus and community through public programs, an award-winning publication, regional outreach, oral history, grants, and fellowships. Our work is driven by innovation and inquiry. We thrive on creativity and collaboration.

Building upon a century of scholarship, the Center for the Study of the American South fosters southern vision and leadership to advance a better future for all. 

We connect communities to the most important conversations, resources, and movements across the South.
