The Atlantic World Research Network:
Atlantic World Studies is a growing interdisciplinary research, teaching, and creative field that reflects on the peoples, cultures, and ecologies of the "Atlantic Rim"—Africa, Europe, and the Americas—from the Medieval to the Postcolonial. Building on the success of UNCG's six Atlantic World Conferences in seven years and its many ongoing Atlantic World initiatives, and providing many rich opportunities for UNCG's graduate students, the Atlantic World Research Network provides leadership in transatlantic studies not only at UNCG and around our region, but around the Atlantic Rim and beyond. Celebrating UNCG's new membership in The Folger Institute on Capitol Hill, this interdisciplinary network embraces and fosters Atlantic World faculty and student research, teaching, and creative work across campus—in the Humanities, Arts, Sciences, and Social Sciences, and across the Academic Units. From the Graduate Student Research Prize, sponsored speakers, and lunchtime colloquia, to readings and exhibitions, and international conferences both here and abroad, this Network brings the Atlantic World home to UNCG, and UNCG around the world.
