The Humanities Research Center at Rice University offers a public lecture series featuring speakers from a variety of academic and professional disciplines who have explored aspects of Katrina's impact on Houston. They will address the conflicts and changes in social, cultural, economic, judicial, and demographic circumstances in Houston, through an examination of oral histories, statistical data, legal cases, and historical trends. The lecture series is made possible by funding from the National Endowment for the Humanities and the Gilder Foundation. For more details please visit http://www.publichumanities.org/Katrina1.html.
