Like many, we have been closely following the developments of COVID-19 also known as the coronavirus and, like many, we have had to make a difficult decision in the midst of this crisis. It is with that in mind and due to the CDC guidance to cancel gatherings larger than 50 people that the Atlanta Studies Symposium has been postponed. It is our hope to reschedule the conference in the near future and once we do we will update this page. Until then, we hope that you stay well.

Each spring the Atlanta Studies Network hosts an annual symposium that tackles the social, cultural, environmental, and economic issues facing Atlanta. In keeping with our belief that scholarship about the city should also be for the city, the symposium is always free to attend and open to the public.

Our eighth annual Atlanta Studies Symposium “Inclusive Innovation: Designing the Future of Atlanta” which was scheduled at the Robert W. Woodruff Library of the Atlanta University Center on Thursday, April 23, 2020 is POSTPONED.
