| The 14th annual meeting of the Southern Intellectual History Circle is scheduled Feb. 22-24 on the Indiana University Bloomington campus. The event is hosted by the IUB Department of History and the theme of the meeting will be religion in the thought and culture of the South. Circle membership is comprised of scholars from more than two dozen institutions throughout the country who study the American South.
No registration fee is required to attend sessions, which will focus on the keynote address delivered by Donald G. Mathews, an historian at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill whose topic will be “Crucifixion-Faith in the Christian South: A Speculation on Segregation, Lynching, Penalty and Purity.” Mathews will speak Thursday, Feb. 22, at 8 p.m. at Chemistry 033. Friday and Saturday (Feb. 23-24) response sessions and other presentations related to religious history in colonial and the antebellum South are scheduled at the Indiana Memorial Union.
