The Center for the Study of Southern Culture and the Office of Outreach at the University of Mississippi are sponsoring a Music of the South Conference in September 2005, on the University campus. The conference focuses on a wide range of music that is rooted in the American South, either having origins in the region or making use of regional themes and context. Country, bluegrass, blues, gospel, jazz, rock 'n' roll, and art music that came out of the South will all be covered in lectures, workshops, and musical performances. We hope to explore the connections among particular genres and understand the refined context that has produced such musical creativity. Papers should draw from academic research, but be presented for a general audience interested in the American South and its culture. Submissions should be mailed to the e-mail address provided below by April 15, 2005. For questions, or to discuss possible topics, e-mail the following address.
