The 7th Annual Global Souths Conference
Conference Theme: "Face to Place"

We feel is especially important because people are, once again, gathering face to face following years of isolation. “Face to Place” emphasizes the building and rebuilding of connections and communities collectively, spatially, and environmentally. As communities begin interacting face-to-face again, physical place and bodies take on greater importance than has been the case the last few years. That place-based and corporeal element of life requires adapting to the return of in-person events, classes, and other engagements. As such, rebuilding communities in the wake of COVID-based isolation is integral to current experience.

Global Souths is a three-day interdisciplinary conference that aims to explore the connection between the southern U.S. and the Global Souths. The South is more than a place: it is a point of connection, a nexus of ideas exceeding geographical and ideological boundaries. As an interdisciplinary conference, we are open to all subject areas, especially the humanities, the arts, history, and social sciences.
