Atlanta Studies Network

[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]

The Atlanta Studies Network is an interdisciplinary group of researchers, students, and instructors across area institutions including Emory University, Georgia State University, Georgia Institute of Technology, Clark Atlanta University, Kennesaw State University, the Atlanta History Center, and the New Georgia Encyclopedia. In addition to publishing Atlanta Studies, the Atlanta Studies Network has hosted an annual symposium each spring that is free and open to the public. The Network also hosts quarterly meetups at Manuel’s Tavern. Finally, a number of innovative cross-institutional projects about Atlanta have arisen from collaborations in the Network, such as those highlighted below.

The Unpacking Manuel’s website makes these images publicly available for annotation, commentary, and research. Dozens of students at Georgia State University and Emory University have unearthed the histories of these objects, and members of the public and Atlanta political class have shared stories about these objects, shedding light on Atlanta’s history.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][vc_empty_space height=”5px”][/vc_accordion_tab][vc_accordion_tab title=”Unpacking Oakland +” title_tag=”h3″][vc_row_inner row_type=”row” type=”full_width” text_align=”left” css_animation=””][vc_column_inner width=”1/4″][vc_single_image image=”30461″ img_size=”medium” qode_css_animation=”” css=”.vc_custom_1582653118343{margin-top: 15px !important;}”][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”3/4″][vc_column_text]This Oakland Cemetery project is a collaborative endeavor between the Historic Oakland Foundation, Beam Imagination, Georgia State University, and Emory University that allows users to explore Oakland Cemetery’s history, residents, and horticulture.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][vc_empty_space height=”5px”][/vc_accordion_tab][/vc_accordion][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row row_type=”row” use_row_as_full_screen_section=”no” type=”grid” angled_section=”no” text_align=”left” background_image_as_pattern=”without_pattern” background_color=”#ffffff” z_index=””][vc_column css=”.vc_custom_1582645126645{margin-top: 10px !important;}”][vc_empty_space height=”16px”][vc_column_text]
