ARE YOU READY TO REMEMBER KATRINA?

Your participation in Remembering Katrina: A Scholarly Immersion Experience will be like no other community-university engagement program focused on post-Katrina New Orleans. For the past five years since the socio-natural phenomenon known as Hurricane Katrina impacted the U.S. Gulf Coast, academicians, students, and community activists from around the world have interfaced with the legacy of Katrina. Their ability to work from and to sustain a mode of engagement that is community-centered, scholarly, and justice-oriented remains to be seen. Remembering Katrina aims to be that model of community-university engagement that achieves the aforementioned ideals. Towards those ends, I ask that you take time to review the "Orientation Guide for Delegates" for this one-of-a-kind scholarly immersion experience.
