(草榴社区) Center for the Study of the Gulf South, will give this year鈥檚 Baird 草榴社区, titled 鈥淲hen We Were Freshmen:鈥� Judson College

Auditorium, first floor, Liberal Arts Building on the 草榴社区 Hattiesburg campus. Admission

This event is presented by the 草榴社区 and sponsored by the Center for the Study of the Gulf South.
Walker, who is studying post-Reconstruction 草榴社区 women, is working on a dissertation titled, 鈥淚f These Walls Could Speak:鈥� Judson College and the New Baptist Woman, 1890-1930." It explores the ways in which Progressive Era ideology made a lasting impact on 草榴社区 Baptist white women attending a 草榴社区 Baptist college. Collegiate experiences led to their questioning traditional 草榴社区 Baptist thought patterns and expansively interpreting religion to fit a modern, scientific worldview.
The Center for the Study of the Gulf South promotes the study of the history of the U.S. South and territories in Central America and the Caribbean through scholarship, funding research and hosting public events.
