We encourage submissions that combine innovative scholarship and analysis with ideas for digital media elements such as images, maps, audio, or video. For this series, Southern Spaces will publish multimedia projects that explore migration, mobility, and exchange, particularly through audio, film, essay, art, photography, and other media. Original pieces might examine how the movements of individuals, populations, goods or ideas shape dynamic spaces, cultures, and identities within or in circulation with the U.S. South. Areas of focus could include migration, population displacement, transnationalism, globalization, geography, histories and legacies of coerced labor, travel and tourism, trade and industry, military service, language, sports and recreation, education, health care, epidemiology, foodways, political activism, environmental issues, popular culture, or the roles of emerging media, online social networks, and digital technologies. Pieces may focus on cultures, particular persons, places, industries or events, or, they may compare the treatment of ideas or images across several works, genres, or decades. To engage with space and place, projects might examine or compare geographically specific sites or imagined geographies related to the U.S. South.

On June 11, 1963, African American students James Hood and Vivian Malone successfully desegregated the University by registering at Foster Auditorium in spite of George Wallace's famous "stand in the schoolhouse door." Today, the building is not in use and little effort has been made to memorialize the events of June 1963. <br/> <br/> <img src="http://www.southernspaces.org/contents/2009/melton/images/1a-002-ss-09-smelto.jpg"> Thu, 15 Oct 2009 19:20:31 GMT http://www.southernspaces.org/contents/2009/burns/1a.htm Shirley Stewart Burns decries the ecological devastation produced by mountaintop removal in Appalachia. <br/><br/> <img src="http://www.southernspaces.org/contents/2009/burns/images/1a-006-ss-09-sburns_sm.jpg"> Wed, 30 Sep 2009 16:10:33 GMT
