WELCOME

In 2010, Dr. Gary K. Perry (Assistant Professor of Sociology at Seattle University) developed Remembering Katrina, a pilot scholarly immersion experience that allows a delegation of college faculty and professional staff to live, to labor, and to learn in post-Katrina New Orleans. From July 25 to August 2, 2010, this delegation will explore ways that Seattle University, in partnership with Fairfield University and Loyola University of New Orleans, can increase its engagement with the recovery efforts in the U.S. Gulf Coast. Remembering Katrina originates from what Dr. Perry observed as a deficit of opportunities for critical scholars to participate in academically-rigorous, community-centered, justice-oriented, and outcome-driven initiatives to rebuild post-Katrina New Orleans. This blog serves as an online community for these delegates to acquire and to share information about their scholarly immersion experience in post-Katrina New Orleans. Subscribe to this blog in order to follow and learn from the experiences of the delegates.
