COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT IN NOLA

Remembering Katrina is about engaging the often invisible and marginalized communities of post-Katrina New Orleans. This mode of community engagement is fundamental to the delegates' goal to live, to labor, and to learn in post-Katrina New Orleans. Remembering Katrina is a scholarly immersion experience that will enable delegates to meet and to possibly volunteer with key stakeholders whose recovery efforts are aligned with each delegate's respective area of interest. The following key stakeholders represent the diversity of issues that delegates will engage with while in post-Katrina New Orleans:
