GBL 201 DISCOVERING DIXIE

This course explores the diverse cultures, rich histories and traditions, music, food, and locations that help create our contemporary definitions of “Dixie” and encourages students to develop a formative understanding of the region as a multi-cultural and dynamic, rapidly evolving yet perpetually “southern” influence in the United States. The course is a travel-embedded course that begins meeting on campus, then travels for approximately 12 days to locations such as the Eastern Band of the Cherokee Qualla Indian Boundary; Nashville and Memphis, Tennessee; Oxford, Mississippi; New Orleans, Louisiana; Mobile, Selma and Birmingham, Alabama; Atlanta, Georgia; and Charlotte, North Carolina.
