Southern Cultures

Perfect for classroom use

Seven Reasons 250,000 Students and Scholars
Have Found Southern Cultures Perfect for Classroom Use

 

1.    No cost.  All content from Southern Cultures online is FREE to all readers whose college or university subscribes to Project Muse.  To date, readers from 1,500 institutions around the globe have accessed our content online.

2.    Free CDs and DVDs for undergraduate and graduate classes.  We've published several CDs and DVDs with special issues over the years, and you can use them at no cost to you or your students.

3.    Access. Wherever Project Muse or the Internet is available, Southern Cultures is available—and that means worldwide access.  All our content is now available through Project Muse. For readers who aren't affiliated with an institution that subscribes to Project Muse, every issue we've published after 2009 is also available for Kindle, Nook, or Sony Reader (and our eBooks page even provides links to free apps).  And in 2011 we've also started offering $0.99 Kindle, Nook, and Sony Reader individual article downloads.

4.    Virtual coursepacks, perfect for Blackboard and other classroom communication programs.  With our content separated and searchable by subject on this website, syllabi and coursepacks almost design themselves. All professors and instructors have to do is cut & paste links to our material. Finding material by subject, issue, and author is a breeze.

5.    Readability.  Our balance between visual and textual content and our inclusion of shorter features alongside academic essays has made us a favorite journal for undergraduate classrooms. The Council of Editors of Learned Journals said this about our approach: "The rich array of photographs and graphics, and the sincere and effective attempt at readerly appeal, go well beyond what is attempted by most.”

6.    Excellence. With award-winning design and editorial teams, an impressive editorial board, and a long history of publishing the South’s finest minds, it’s easy to see why the CELJ also said that Southern Cultures is “a hallmark of what ambitious journals should be attempting” and that “Southern Cultures is truly impressive.”

7.    No paperwork, permissions agreements, or hassles.  Assigning Southern Cultures material online or through Kindle, Nook, & Sony Reader eBooks requires NO copyright fees or permissions agreements.
