Disaster Field School to New Orleans
(click for syllabus)
The sociology field school is a combined experiential-learning and service-learning project, which takes a class of students from Mount Royal University to southern Louisiana to learn about ongoing recovery efforts from both Hurricane Katrina and the Deepwater Horizon Oil Spill.
Every two years, we travel to New Orleans and immerse ourselves in the city. While there, where we have partnered with, learned from, and served multiple organizations including the Lower 9th Ward Centre for Sustainable Engagement and Development, Habitat for Humanity, the City of New Orleans, the Urban Conservancy, and several local universities. We have designed and carried out surveys, written reports, and importantly, helped to build homes in flood-devastated neighbourhoods. We've also visited and learned from families in southern Louisiana impacted by the BP oil spill. Students are also afforded the opportunity to experience the incredible cuisine, culture, architecture, and people of the region.
