Snapshots from the Semester

Fall semester has been a busy one in Barnard Observatory; the Center welcomed new students and staff, played host to a plethora of visiting scholars, and held yet another successful Southern Foodways Symposium. From taking snaps in classes to capturing Brown Bag lectures, documenting Southern Studies happenings continues to be an entertaining, educational, and enjoyable task for me. With the semester at its end, here’s a recap in pictures of the past four months.
