Storms of Controversy: A Public Conversation about Katrina Aftermath
On Sunday,
September 25, Mount Holyoke College’s Weissman
Center for Leadership and the Liberal Arts will host “Storms
of Controversy: Hurricane Katrina, Broken Levees, and Lives Undone,” a
public conversation about disasters, class, race, and politics
in and beyond the Gulf States. This event will take place at 2
pm in Hooker Auditorium in Clapp Laboratory. Speakers will include
Lynda Morgan, associate professor of history; Preston Smith, associate
professor of politics and associate director of the Weissman Center
for Community-Based Learning; Margaret Kimberly, journalist and “Freedom
Rider” columnist; and Benigno Aguirre, from the Disaster
Research Center and University of Delaware’s sociology department.
The event is part of the Weissman Center’s Law and Dis/Order series, inspired by the ways in which law, order, and disorder
continue to shape our understanding of contemporary events and
political efforts at home and abroad. This and all of the related
events are free and open to the public.
