2nd Wednesday of each month, 11:30 a.m.-12:30 p.m.
The Center for the Study of the American South, at Love House, is excited to share a new initiative that we have launched, called Thinking South: Brown Bag Lunch Gatherings.
During Fall 2024 and Spring 2025 we will gather on the 2nd Wednesday of each month from 11:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. for informal, engaging lunchtime conversations. These recurring sessions are a generative space for faculty, students, and community members to share ideas, papers, reflections, and discussions centered on topics related to the South.
OUR NEXT GATHERING – OCT. 9 WITH CHAITRA POWELL
Chaitra Powell is the Sarah Graham Kenan Curator of the Southern Historical Collection, Wilson Special Collections Library at University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill.
October is archives month! Chaitra Powell will talk about a current community driven archives initiative that seeks to explore how we document the impact of COVID-19 and climate change across North Carolina.
