Conference Presentations
Dr. Charles Jarrett currently publishes articles on Gullah culture and language in peer refereed journals and presents papers at professional conferences on an annual basis. Charles spends a great portion of his summer months gathering data in the Sea Islands and coastal regions of South Carolina. One way to refine an article for potential publication is to present a paper at a national conference. Charles has regularly attended the National Association of African American Studies Conference and presented papers on Gullah culture and language. Charles presented a paper (above top left) entitled "Connecting with the Soul of a Community: An Interactive Study of Gullah Culture" at the 2003 NAAAS Conference in Houston, Texas. Professionals of various disciplines (above top right) provide insightful commentary and constructive criticism to help improve the paper for future publication. Charles takes a moment to admire the beautiful flower arrangement (bottom picture) in the lobby of the Houston OMNI Westside Hotel, the annual location of the National Association of African American Studies Conference in Houston, Texas.
 
The Houston Westside OMNI Hotel serves as the annual site of the National Association of African American Studies (NAAAS) Conference. The Houston Westside OMNI Hotel is one of the most attractive conference sites in the United States. An indoor atrium (above top left) houses full grown trees and an indoor water system with tropical fish and other aquatic life forms. A baby grand piano (above top right) awaits the company of anyone wishing to perform for the enjoyment of others. A family of turtles (bottom pic) enjoys a sunny afternoon to the delight of conference participants. Plenty of conference rooms and meeting areas make the Houston Westside OMNI a wonderful site for a professional conference. |
