Editors John Shelton Reed and Harry L. Watson founded Southern Cultures in 1993. Reed still writes for the quarterly and works in an advisory role, but he resigned his formal title in 2005 for another renowned Southern sociologist, UNC’s Larry J. Griffin. Until late 2009, Griffin served as editor alongside Watson, who directs the Center for the Study of the American South and is a professor in UNC’s Department of History. Griffin continues to advise Southern Cultures as an Editorial Board member (see below), and former Board member Jocelyn Neal, an associate professor in UNC's Department of Music, now serves as editor with Watson. Southern Cultures is published for the Center by UNC Press.
