Every Fall, the Institute for Southern Studies (ISS) in the College of Arts & Sciences hosts the Neuffer Lecture in Southern Literature. Through the generosity of the Neuffer family, ISS is able to bring to campus distinguished writers whose work deals with the US South and makes enduring and important contributions to southern literature.
The Neuffer Lecture in Southern Literature is designed to engage USC students and faculty as well as the general public. The Series exposes our community to some of the most influential literature about the US South and introduces it to some of the foremost writers working today.
