Morehouse College and Emory University will co-host the 33rd Southeastern Undergraduate Sociology Symposium (SEUSS) February 12-14, 2015 at Morehouse College. This symposium is one of the few forums in the nation where undergraduate students have the unique experience of participating in a professional meeting to present their research and share ideas about social trends, issues, problems, and solutions.
This year, the symposium will be held in conjunction with the Morehouse College Department of Sociology’s 70th Annual Family Institute Conference, sharing the theme, Families: Transformations and Trajectories. Highlights of the Family Institute include Dr. Bilal King's After Malcolm Digital Archive presentation; Dr. Cynthia Hewitt's Family Heritage panel; and in collaboration with the African American Studies Carter G. Woodson Annual Speakers Series, a special evening program featuring the Oba of Oyotunji Village, SC.
In addition to the student paper presentations, a highlight of the
SEUSS symposium is the keynote banquet address delivered by a distinguished speaker. In his illustrated presentation, “A Genealogy of People and Place in Savannah: The 1859 Slave Sale at Ten Broeck Race Course,” Dr. Kwesi DeGraft-Hanson uses architectural and cultural information to explore African American history and culture in colonial and antebellum slavery to reveal the hidden landscapes of slavery.
We invite you to encourage your students and faculty colleagues to participate.I hope you and your students will be represented. If you have questions or need additional information, please email me (ida.mukenge@morehouse.edu) or telephone the Sociology Department office at 404/215-2624.
