What is the
Southern Section of CAMWS?

Since 1920, members of CAMWS who reside in the Southern states (MO, AR, TX, LA, OK, KY, TN, MS, AL, WV, VA, NC, SC, GA, FL) have enjoyed a separate organization (with no additional dues) called the Southern Section. The primary purpose is to provide an additional meeting opportunity in the South in alternate years, when the CAMWS meeting is in the Northern states; these meetings are held in the fall, generally in October. In addition, the Southern Section works closely with the officers of CAMWS to promote the study of Classics in the states of the Southern Section, including strengthening of ties between schools and colleges, and donation of funds for scholarships and government advocacy. A group membership is also maintained in the Southern Humanities Council.

The 90th anniversary meeting of the Southern Section of CAMWS will take place on October 28-30, 2010, at the invitation of the University of Richmond and in conjunction with the Centennial Meeting of the Classical Association of Virginia. The Richmond Omni Hotel will host the meetings. Click here to read the full Call for Papers and to submit your abstracts online.

The 88th anniversary meeting of the Southern Section of CAMWS took place November 13-15, 2008, in Asheville, North Carolina, at the invitation of the University of North Carolina at Asheville. The program and other information about the meeting can be found here.
