About the Course:
In this class students will be introduced to the less publicized realities of Hurricane Katrina and the Gulf Coast. We will explore the “unnatural” side of the events that took place last September, focusing on the social implications of the responses by the government, international aid agencies, grassroots organizations and the media. We will look at how these responses affected the different communities of New Orleans and the Gulf Coast, and their greater impact on the U.S. We will also delve into how race, class and gender are affected by the disaster.
How to Enroll:
We’re all full!!! Sorry to anyone who can’t make it in.
Also, WE HAVE CHANGED ROOMS. Class is now in Unit 2 Rec Room L40. That’s underground. We’ll be starting and ending ten minutes later to accomodate for walking time.
