Carolina Lowcountry and Atlantic World

Welcome!

“Here was a thin neck in the hourglass of the Afro-America past,
a place where individual grains from all along the West African coast
had been funneled together, only to be fanned out
across the American landscape with the passage of time.”
Peter H. Wood, Black Majority

In 1994, the College established the Program in the Carolina Lowcountry and the Atlantic World to promote scholarship on the Lowcountry, the Atlantic World, and the connections between the two, to strengthen the College’s instructional program, and to promote public understanding of the region and its place in a broader international context.
