Hurricane Katrina Support

Thanks for another great discussion today, everyone! I'm excited by the level of participation and personal reflection you are displaying, in our seminars...

Meanwhile, I know that Hurricane Katrina came up, very briefly, in the context of differing representations of race by the media. I ended the discussion, there, because I wasn't sure that people wanted to enter into a very emotional discussion about Katrina. Nonetheless, I understand that many people on campus (possibly including yourselves) have been deeply effected by the hurricane. The following link was just distributed to instructors and it provides info on counseling, support groups, and means of contributing to the recovery effort, in case any of you are interested:
