Catastrophes and the Role of Social Networks in Recovery: A Case Study of St. Bernard Parish, LA, Residents After Hurricane Katrina

Lasley, Carrie E 02 August 2012 (has links)
The purpose of this dissertation is to examine the experiences of St. Bernard Parish, La., residents as they coped with the impact of the catastrophe of Hurricane Katrina on August 29, 2005. An estimated 50,000 St. Bernard Parish residents relocated to a new home one year after Katina in 2006, and many of those residents moved again. This study examines the effects of the decisions of St. Bernard residents to relocate or to return on their social connections. The utility, adaptability and durability of social networks of these residents will be explored to enrich our knowledge about the social effects of recovery and the role that distance plays in the way residents connect to each other six years after Hurricane Katrina. It also examines the applicability of disaster theory as it relates to this case and develops a methodology for examining the impact of geographic dispersal on social networks.

Portraits of Young Artists: Artworlds, In/Equity, and Dis/Identification in Post-Katrina New Orleans

Travis, Sarah Teresa 05 1900 (has links)
Using portraiture methodology and social practice theory, this study examined the identity work of young people engaged in a teen arts internship program at a contemporary arts center in post-Katrina New Orleans. This research asked four interrelated questions. Through the lens of a teen arts internship at a contemporary arts center in post-Katrina New Orleans, 1) How do contextual figured worlds influence artist identity work? 2) How does artist identity work manifest through personal narratives? 3) How does artist identity work manifest in activities? 4) What are the consequences of artist identity work? The findings of the study highlight how sociocultural factors influence dis/identification with the visual arts in young people and provoke considerations of in/equity in the arts.

L'évaluation en contexte de crise humanitaire : étude du cas de Katrina au regard du secteur de l'aide humanitaire internationale

Bélanger, Jean-François 18 April 2018 (has links)
Depuis les dernières décennies, une part notable de la littérature en évaluation de programme et de politique s’est intéressée plus spécifiquement aux interventions menées en contexte de crise humanitaire. Mais malgré cette abondante littérature, aucun ouvrage de synthèse ne présente les spécificités des évaluations conduites dans ce type de contextes. On peut aussi se demander si et dans quelle mesure les modalités évaluatives qui prévalent en contexte de crise humanitaire sont applicables à d’autres types de crise. C’est donc pour explorer ces avenues de réflexion et brosser un état des lieux que la présente étude a été réalisée. Nous y voyons notamment que l’évaluation des interventions publiques menées dans le contexte de la crise humanitaire ayant suivi le passage de l’ouragan Katrina aux États-Unis, au mois d’août 2005, est pratiquement identique à ce qui peut s’observer du côté de l’évaluation de l’action humanitaire.

The Closure of New Orleans' Charity Hospital After Hurricane Katrina: A Case of Disaster Capitalism

Ott, Kenneth Brad 18 May 2012 (has links)
Abstract Amidst the worst disaster to impact a major U.S. city in one hundred years, New Orleans’ main trauma and safety net medical center, the Reverend Avery C. Alexander Charity Hospital, was permanently closed. Charity’s administrative operator, Louisiana State University (LSU), ordered an end to its attempted reopening by its workers and U.S. military personnel in the weeks following the August 29, 2005 storm. Drawing upon rigorous review of literature and an exhaustive analysis of primary and secondary data, this case study found that Charity Hospital was closed as a result of disaster capitalism. LSU, backed by Louisiana state officials, took advantage of the mass internal displacement of New Orleans’ populace in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina in an attempt to abandon Charity Hospital’s iconic but neglected facility and to supplant its original safety net mission serving the poor and uninsured for its neoliberal transformation to favor LSU’s academic medical enterprise.
