The crop\u2019s cultivation touched many aspects of life in the state\u2019s tidal region. Its impact continues. Why did it happen? How did it affect the land and people? Often, research produced by professional historians, anthropologists, and others on the Lowcountry staple crop of rice and its impact on the population, built environment, and cultural customs of the region has not adequately been disseminated to the general public, including teachers, community leaders, and the descendents of stake holders in the rice trade and agricultural system.&nbsp; <\/p>\n<p>This September in Charleston, the Lowcountry Rice Culture Project will come together with our partners at Middleton Place, the Culinary Institute of Charleston, and the College of Charleston to conduct a small forum to disseminate information on Lowcountry Rice Production and Culture to a broad audience. Participants will include scholars, teachers, community leaders, public historians, docents and employees of local historic and cultural sites, as well as several representatives from our institutional partners in the Republic of Guinea (West Africa). Emphasis will be to get solid information and teaching materials to individuals who are in a position to pass it along to a broader audience of both locals and visitors.<\/p>\n<p>During a three-day \u201cLowcountry Rice Culture Forum\u201d in Charleston in fall 2013, participants will examine these issues with guidance from qualified humanists. \u201cDay One\u201d will open proceedings with evening demonstrations and tastings of rice products from the Chefs of the Culinary Institute of Charleston (Palmer Campus); \u201cDay Two,\u201d at the College of Charleston, will focus on presentations by and discussions with scholars followed by a public lecture and discussion; \u201cDay Three,\u201d at Middleton Place, will provide hands on experience and discussions of the annual rice harvest, African retentions and cultural elements related to rice production, and Lowcountry rice foodways. <\/p>\n<p><b>DOWNLOAD: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.lowcountryriceculture.org\/registration_form.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">Registration Form<\/a><\/b><\/p>\n<p><b>FOR MORE INFO: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.lowcountryriceculture.org\/\" target=\"_blank\">LowcountryRiceCulture.org <\/a><\/b><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Lowcountry Rice Culture ForumCharleston, SC12-14 September 2013 From the 17th through the 19th Centuries, South Carolina led the nation\u2019s rice production.
