Previous Atlanta Studies Symposia
[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]
Since 2013, the Atlanta Studies Network has organized an annual symposium each spring tackling the social, cultural, environmental, and economic issues facing Atlanta. In keeping with our belief that scholarship about the city should also be for the city, the symposium is always free to attend and open to the public. Symposia have been hosted by Emory University, Georgia State University, the Georgia Institute of Technology and the Robert W. Woodruff Library of the Atlanta University Center.
