Hurricane Katrina Project
The Hurricane Katrina Project examines the impacts of hurricanes on the Gulf Coast. It began in response to the specific case of New Orleans’ flooding in 2005 and efforts to understand who was affected and what neighborhoods were able to rebuild. Since then it has evolved into a broader study of the Gulf Coast region in the decades since 1950. Major participants in this project have include John Logan, Zengwang Xu (now at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee), and Sukriti Issar (now at Sciences Po in Paris).
