Mission
2. We are an academic institution.
– Academic rigor underscores our work. We are and will continue to be the foremost national resource on the study and living history of Southern foodways. We’re a nontraditional—but integral—part of the University of Mississippi. As an institute of the Center for the Study of Southern Culture, we take seriously our charge to contribute to the cultural studies dialogue on food. We aid students by offering internships, graduate assistantships, and post-doctoral teaching fellowships.
– We encourage the free exchange of sometimes conflicting ideas. Our products—events, publications, and documentaries —provide opportunities for table discussions. We engage while we entertain. We foster a community that is open to meaningful dialogue and the sharing of ideas. We playfully engage our members and inspire them to listen, think, and share. We pitch a big tent under which all may gather to learn and cavort.
4. We are collaborative.
– We partner with other like-minded organizations, both academic and other. We pursue relationships with others who share our mission and work in a spirit of honesty, generosity, and reciprocity.
– We are purposefully inclusive. We share a common table with people of all races, genders, ages, and classes. We believe that there is knowledge, power, and beauty in diversity.
– We cover the whole of the South. No matter how you define it. We strive to be geographically inclusive in our programming and documentary work, making sure that our region is thoroughly and thoughtfully represented.
5. We provide a rewarding experience.
– We provide a professional and supportive workplace for SFA employees. SFA headquarters is a microcosm of the organization. Engaged employees are dedicated to the SFA’s mission and work in an environment that fosters communication, education, and fun.
– We successfully retain existing members and enthusiastically welcome new ones. We actively support our friends and family while bringing new folks into the fold. We will always have room at the table. Because membership dollars help to fund our mission, members feel they are part of our projects.
– We volunteer to help others. We collaborate with our membership and local communities in a spirit of volunteerism, spearheading, supporting, and inspiring projects whenever and wherever we can.
– For those in need, we rally support and leverage our strengths to help. Our membership expresses its appreciation for the region by stepping up to help.
7. We are good financial stewards.
– We are financially transparent. We share our budget freely with members in good standing and donors who have a vested interest in knowing our finances. And we are audited quarterly.
– SFA staff and members do not accept graft. No lobbyists need apply. The SFA is a collaborative enterprise, not a venue for opportunism. We work together toward the fulfillment of our mission and each other.
– Our endorsement is not for sale. We are an egalitarian organization. To that end, we do not accept support—financial or otherwise—that compromises the integrity of the organization in any way.
9. We are offbeat.
-We are serious about our work, but not too serious about ourselves. After all, we’re citizens of the Banana Pudding Republic!
