Mission

The Southeastern Association of Cultural Studies (SEACS) is dedicated to scholarship in modern languages and literature, including linguistics, pedagogy, and cultural studies. 

A regional organization with an international scope, SEACS holds annual meetings in North or South Carolina that draw participants from neighboring states and beyond. 

As a smaller organization, SEACS strives to promote scholarly exploration in a collegial spirit. The organization is dedicated to maintaining a strong community of educators, scholars, and graduate students and to providing early professionalization opportunities for undergraduates.
