Abstract

This documentary reflects on the impacts of the late Ann Abadie in the development of the Center for the Study of Southern Culture through the eyes of some of its staff and faculty. Abadie, longtime associate director, was instrumental in the founding and shaping of the Center. As a student who recently arrived at the Center, I had seen much eulogizing and respect for the recently passed Abadie. I was drawn to learn more about a woman who has directly shaped not only my education and that of my classmates, but the field of Southern Studies at large.

Wayne Dowdy is a Southern Studies MA student with a background in cultural heritage development and programming. Dowdy previously worked with the Mississippi Delta National Heritage Area. He completed his undergraduate degree in History and Spanish at Millsaps College. He is interested in histories of regional development.
