The title has long been translated into English as &#8220;the narrow road to the deep north.&#8221; Here in Atlanta, the deep South of the United States, my students and I also think about the kinds of things that Bash\u00f4 and his disciples + fans talked and wrote about.

We are connected, for better or worse, and can learn a lot from one another.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_107\" style=\"width: 325px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-107\" class=\"wp-image-107\" src=\"https:\/\/scholarblogs.emory.edu\/narrowroadsouth\/files\/2021\/08\/F6A61627-CC4D-4F0C-94E0-346A60FECCFC-850x478.jpeg\" alt=\"sleeping cat\" width=\"315\" height=\"177\" srcset=\"https:\/\/scholarblogs.emory.edu\/narrowroadsouth\/files\/2021\/08\/F6A61627-CC4D-4F0C-94E0-346A60FECCFC-850x478.jpeg 850w, https:\/\/scholarblogs.emory.edu\/narrowroadsouth\/files\/2021\/08\/F6A61627-CC4D-4F0C-94E0-346A60FECCFC-250x141.jpeg 250w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 315px) 100vw, 315px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-107\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">\u00a0Luna doesn\u2019t care about blogs.<\/p><\/div>\n<h3>Emory&#8217;s Statement Committing to Justice<\/h3>\n<p>The Emory community is open to all who have a commitment to the highest ideals of intellectual engagement, critical inquiry and integrity.
