Four Network meetings will be held during the 24-months of the grant: one each at the universities of Manchester, Florida, Cambridge and Copenhagen. Each meeting will focus on one of the major research questions relating to the study of American South outlined in the Objectives (see 2 above). Individually and collectively, the meetings will encourage theoretical retrospection and methodological innovation in the field of Southern Studies, while also promoting a deeper understanding of the history and cultures of the American South in national and transnational contexts. While paying close attention to the diversity apparent within the South, the Network will explore the region's complex relationships with broader national and global histories from the colonial era to the contemporary period. Ultimately, the Network will both affirm the signal importance of the American South as a place where vital social, political, economic, and cultural crosscurrents have traditionally intersected and been reshaped, and refine new modes of enquiry into the history, nature and significances of those intersections. The Manchester meeting (May 2008) will use multidisciplinary perspectives on the contemporary South primarily to delineate its influence on modern America and, by extension, on much of the post-World War Two world. In the process it will facilitate long overdue dialogue between historians and practitioners of the New Southern Studies based principally in literary and cultural studies. Key speakers will include Martyn Bone, David Colburn, Allison Graham, Paul Harvey, John Kirk, William Link, Riché Richardson, and Sharon Monteith. The Florida meeting (January 2009) will explore changing southern notions of citizenship, nationalism, and the experience of secession in comparative international perspective. Key speakers expected include David Brown, Don Doyle, Laura Edwards, Martha Hodes, William Link, Michael O'Brien, and Andres Resendez. The Cambridge meeting (August 2009) will re-examine the analytical virtues (and perils) of situating the study of southern history and cultures within an 'Atlantic World' framework and explore the possibilities for stretching the chronological scope of that model beyond its traditional home in the Early Modern period. Key speakers are expected to include Michael Bibler, Peter Coclanis, Trevor Burnard, Alison Games, Richard King, Jon Sensbach, Brian Ward, and Betty Wood. The Copenhagen meeting (May 2010) will focus on the ways in which the South and its cultures have been imagined, produced, marketed and consumed within the US and globally, from colonial times to the present. Key speakers are expected to include Tony Badger, Deborah Cohn, Russell Duncan, Anne Dvinge, Allison Graham, Richard King, Sarah Meer, Helen Taylor, and Brian Ward. In addition to formal presentations by leading southern scholars, each conference meeting will feature a plenary session at which members of the Network Steering Committee will lead discussions of the theoretical and methodological issues raised by the papers and central to the Network. A website-cum-discussion board dedicated to the Network will be created at Manchester. Two (possibly three) edited volumes will be published by the University Press of Florida, to perpetuate the innovative work of the Network beyond the life of the grant. In a similar move to stimulate continued scholarly concern for the kinds of empirical and theoretical issues at the core of the Network, each meeting will incorporate some papers by US and UK/EU postgraduate students (funds for this are NOT requested as part of this application). It is envisioned that the Network will provide the basis for a permanent Southern Studies Network, with hubs at Manchester and one or more of the partners in this bid.

在赠款的24个月期间，将举行四次网络会议：在曼彻斯特，佛罗里达州，剑桥和哥本哈根的大学中各自举行。每次会议将重点介绍与目标中概述的美国南方研究有关的主要研究问题（请参见上面的2）。这些会议将在南方研究领域进行理论回顾和方法论创新，同时还鼓励人们对国家和跨国环境中美国南方的历史和文化的更深入了解。该网络密切关注南方内部的多样性，将探索该地区与从殖民时代到当代时期更广泛的民族和全球历史的复杂关系。最终，该网络都将肯定美国南方的信号重要性是传统上相交并重塑的重要社会，政治，经济和文化杂交的地方，并完善了对这些相互作用的历史，性质和意义的新方式。曼彻斯特会议（2008年5月）将对当代南主要的多学科观点使用多学科的观点来描述其对现代美国的影响，并扩展到第二次世界大战后的大部分战争世界。在此过程中，它将促进主要基于文学和文化研究的新南方研究的历史学家与从业者之间的长期对话。主要发言人将包括Martyn Bone，David Colburn，Allison Graham，Paul Harvey，John Kirk，William Link，RichéRichardson和Sharon Monteith。佛罗里达州会议（2009年1月）将探索不断变化的南方公民身份，民族主义和会议的经验。预期的主要发言人包括大卫·布朗，唐·道尔，劳拉·爱德华兹，玛莎·霍德斯，威廉·林克，迈克尔·奥布莱恩和安德烈斯·雷斯德斯。剑桥会议（2009年8月）将重新审查“大西洋世界”框架内对南方历史和文化进行研究的分析美德（和危险），并探索将该模型的年代范围扩展到现代早期的传统房屋之外的可能性。预计主要发言人将包括Michael Bibler，Peter Coclanis，Trevor Burnard，Alison Games，Richard King，Jon Sensbach，Brian Ward和Betty Wood。哥本哈根会议（2010年5月）将重点关注南方及其文化的想象，生产，销售和消费在美国境内以及从殖民时期到现在的方式。预计主要发言人将包括托尼·雷德（Tony Badger），黛博拉·科恩（Deborah Cohn），罗素·邓肯（Russell Duncan），安妮·戴格（Anne Dvinge），艾莉森·格雷厄姆（Allison Graham），理查德·金（Richard King），莎拉·梅尔（Sarah Meer），海伦·泰勒（Helen Taylor）和布莱恩·沃德（Brian Ward）。除了主要的南方学者的正式演讲外，每个会议会议还将举办全体会议，网络指导委员会的成员将领导有关论文和网络中心提出的理论和方法论问题的讨论。将在曼彻斯特创建专门针对网络的网站兼讨论委员会。佛罗里达大学出版社将出版两本（可能是三个）编辑的卷，以使网络的创新工作超出赠款的寿命。为了激发网络核心的经验和理论问题的持续学术关注，每次会议都将纳入美国和英国/欧盟研究生的一些论文（对于此申请的一部分，并不要求提供资金）。可以预见的是，该网络将为永久的南方研究网络提供基础，并在曼彻斯特和该竞标中的一个或多个合作伙伴提供枢纽。
