Given the choice of Katrina as the collaborative research project, I'll start listing here some sources that are pertinent to the list of potential research questions that we generated in class on 9/8.

  • What happens to the Louisiana legal system now?
  • Louisiana fishery losses (& this website, the New Orleans TV station WDSU, is a good overall source of information)
  • Sources from the Louisiana Water Resources Research Institute
  • Heritage Preservation tracks the status of cultural and historic artifacts and sites in the hurricane's wake
  • Police vs. evacuees
  • Displaced high school football players
  • Here's one source I was telling you about, where race and class determined who was evacuated first: "At one point Friday, the evacuation was interrupted briefly when school buses pulled up so some 700 guests and employees from the Hyatt Hotel could move to the head of the evacuation line — much to the amazement of those who had been crammed in the Superdome since last Sunday."
  • And here's the other, about people being prevented from leaving: "Police and National Guard troops on Saturday closed down the two centers -- the Superdome arena and the city's convention center -- but then penned the storm victims outside in sweltering heat to keep them from trying to walk out of the city until they were evacuated from the scene."
  • Spoonboy514 links to some visual commentary.
  • The path of polluted water
  • A timeline of the FEMA debacle. The Boston Globe has a more generalized chronology of governmental failures.
  • Slate tracks poliblogs' commentary on Katrina
  • SU relief efforts: I know this isn't on our list of possible research questions, but hey, it ought to be!
  • New York Times' graphic timeline
  • Mapping Katrina
  • Problems for individuals posed by new bankruptcy laws ]]>
