Scholars in history, literature, and other disciplines have developed an ad-vanced understanding of the historical, social, and cultural forces that have helped to shape the U.S. South. However, most of the debates on these subjects have taken place within specific academic disciplines, with few attempts to cross-engage. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eNavigating Souths\u003c\/i\u003e broadens these exchanges by facilitating transdisciplinary conversations about southern studies scholarship. The fourteen original essays in \u003ci\u003eNavigating Souths\u003c\/i\u003e articulate questions about the significances of the South as a theoretical and literal \"home\" base for social science and humanities researchers. They also examine challenges faced by researchers who identify as southern studies scholars, as well as by those who live and work in the regional South, and show how researchers have responded to these challenges. In doing so, this book project seeks to reframe the field of southern studies as it is currently being practiced by social science and humanities scholars and thus reshape historical and cultural conceptualizations of the region.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eMichele Grigsby Coffey (Editor) \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e MICHELE GRIGSBY COFFEY is an instructor of history at the University of Memphis.
