* * * "The ‘I’ of the Storm":
Dr. Nancy Dixon A graduate of Louisiana State University, Dr. Nancy Dixon has lived in New Orleans on and off for the past 30 years and has been in the city permanently since 1996. She stayed in town for Hurricane Katrina, and she and her partner Bill eventually left a few days later in a rowboat, where they encountered gunfire, bodies, and witnessed much of the city’s destruction. Dr. Dixon will speak candidly about the current state of affairs in the city, including culture, politics, and education. She will discuss her personal response to the very public event, looking at how we negotiate personal and cultural identity in times of crisis. Students and faculty are encouraged to attend. Dr. Dixon currently teaches at the University of New Orleans and is the author of Fortune and Misery: Sallie Rhett Roman of New Orleans, recipient of the Louisiana Endowment for the Humanities Book of the Year Award, 2000. For more information on Dr. Dixon and her experiences during Katrina, see: http://chronicle.com/weekly/v52/i04/04a05601.htm Please contact Steve Price sprice@monm.edu or Rob Hale rhale@monm.edu with any questions.
