description
This course will use New Orleans to explore how American cities respond to disruption and disaster. Guided by the question, “Did New Orleans’ musical traditions provide a framework for resilience?” this course will integrates urban history and cultural theory to explore the components of urban resilience. With special attention placed on music culture as a tool to create and preserve a sense of place, the course explores New Orleans’ music, the impact of Katrina, and the ongoing recovery efforts. Ending with an optional four-day immersion trip to New Orleans, this course will shed light on the continuing impact of the storm and the community’s resilience.
