From the webpage of the Ole Miss Center for the Study of Southern Culture:

Southern Studies alumni have gone on to work for institutions such as the Mississippi Department of Archives and History; Teach for American; CNN; Southern Living magazine; the New Orleans Museum of Art; the Southern Poverty Law Center; the National Black Arts Festival in Atlanta; the Valentine Museum in Richmond; Jazz Fest in New Orleans; the Center for Documentary Studies at Duke University; the Illinois Humanities Council; and the National Endowment for the Arts. Others have entered law school, business school, and graduate programs in the humanities at such institutions as the University of Texas, Emory University, the University of Georgia, the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, the College of William and Mary, and Brown University.
