Center for the Study of the Gulf South
Inaugurated in 1998, the Center for the Study of the Gulf South organizes, promotes, and disseminates interdisciplinary scholarship on the history and culture of the Gulf South and the Caribbean Basin and the connections between these two regions. The goal of the Center is to draw upon and highlight the University of Southern Mississippi's impressive strengths in southern, Caribbean, and Latin American studies, and augment the University's mission to become a national university for the Gulf South. The center supports annual symposia and lectures on issues relating to Gulf communities.
