THE SOUTHWEST CENTER TURNS 40
Since 1986, the Southwest Center has promoted understanding of the region we live in through interdisciplinary research, cultural programming, and the Journal of the Southwest. This anniversary gathering brings together voices, scholarship, and documentation from four decades of work
Three collections for a special occasion
The people who built the Southwest Center tell its story in their own words. Conversations with the scholars, directors, and collaborators who shaped four decades of work.
The Journal of the Southwest has been asking hard questions about this region since 1987. A selection of articles that have stood the test of time.
Forty years leave traces. Letters, newsletters, and documents that capture how it all began and what it became.
Join the celebration!
Did you attend a lecture at the Little Chapel of All Nations in the late eighties? Did a Journal of the Southwest article change the way you think about this region? Did Joe Wilder convince you to submit a paper, join a conference, or just stay for one more conversation? Did you roam the Sonoran Desert on an SWC field trip, or walk the Camino del Diablo, or sit in a talk that you still think about? Were you a student, a scholar, a collaborator, a donor, a neighbor?
The Southwest Center has spent forty years at the crossroads of people and ideas. We want to hear from all of them. Send us your memories, your photographs, your stories, whatever the Center meant to you.
