[Linganth] Hurricane Harvey support?

[Lauren Zentz]

Hi everyone, 

 I’m a faculty member at the University of Houston (and I am incredibly fortunate to have come out high and dry). If I have any resources on this I will share them with you all. For now, everyone is still in evacuation and life-saving mode, and long-term coping resources are only starting to come out.

I’m also going to start collecting stories from people I know, so perhaps that could be the start of a late-breaking Harvey panel.

Subject: [Linganth] Hurricane Harvey support?

 

Dear Linganth colleagues,

 

During Katrina, Indiana University offered support to college students displaced by Katrina.  Does anyone know of any universities that are offering similar support to Houston students? Do you know of universities that need support? According to many Houston universities’ websites, they are closed through Labor Day but most seem to be planning on getting back to business next week.  The University of Houston--Downtown webpage was not functioning, perhaps a sign of trouble there.

 

I will set up a Facebook page with any resources for students that you can share with me.

 

I am talking to the AAA about a late-breaking Harvey panel.  My New Orleans colleagues who survived Katrina very much want local Texas anthropologists to be part of that planning.  Have you or colleagues you know been affected by Harvey?Would you like to share your experiences and observations at the AAAs this year?

 

all best to all of you in these very wet times,

 

Leila
