New Orleans Center for the Gulf South

The New Orleans Center for the Gulf South at Tulane University (NOCGS) is an interdisciplinary, place-based institute that promotes the understanding of New Orleans and the Gulf South region. We offer research fellowships, curate educational experiences, and create new publications that relate the local to the global.

We are grateful to be part of an experiential learning collective called the Gulf South Open School and to welcome you to our Spring season. Our first GSOS Community Table is Monday, 3/25, from 6 to 7:30 p.m., hosted by Civic Studio. Join us at 1626 S. Rampart for dinner, conversation, and creative activities. All are welcome -- dinner + child care provided, so bring the whole family! Our guide Rebecca Snedeker will lead a conversation and creative response focusing on these questions: What is an Open School? What is the Gulf South Open School? How does our work down here on the coast relate to other explorations taking place along the Mississippi (Mississippi River Open School) and around the world (Anthropocene Commons)? Throughout the spring season, Civic Studio will host a GSOS Community Table on the last Monday of each month as a space for connection, reflection, and creative response.
