Katrina Research Project on Equity

The Katrina Research Project on Equity (KRPE - pronounced "Karpay") is a
project of the Southern Institute for Education and Research at Tulane
University. You are invited to join KatrinaResearch-L, the electronic
discussion list for KRPE. The list is a clearinghouse and network for
research on the role of race and class in the post-Katrina recovery
process in the Gulf Coast region and in displaced communities. KRPE
facilitates communication and collaboration among researchers, volunteers,
and community groups interested in research on race and class disparities
in reconstruction programs. Its goal is to encourage community-directed
research that promotes a just and equitable society.

This is a moderated list with open subscription. All postings will be
reviewed by the list moderator before posting to determine if they are
appropriate. To subscribe to the list: 1. Send an e-mail to
LISTSERV@tulane.edu. 2. Leave the subject line blank. 3. In the body of
the message type SUBSCRIBE KATRINARESEARCH-L YOUR NAME (Example: SUBSCRIBE
KATRINARESEARCH-L JOE SMITH). 4. Make sure there is no signature or any
other text in the message space. If you have difficulties subscribing,
send an e-mail to so-inst@tulane.edu with the word "subscribe" and your
name in the subject line.

What to Post to the Discussion List:
* Research Projects: Post descriptions of ongoing research projects for
discussion or general interest.
* Volunteers Needed: Post descriptions of ongoing research projects that
need volunteers. Be sure that you detail volunteer qualifications,
responsibilities, and time frameworks. Community groups in search of
research services can post what their needs are.
* Proposed New Research Projects: Post proposed research projects for
discussion or in search of partners (research, community group, or
volunteer partners). These may be "virtual" research groups that
communicate, research, and produce reports entirely via the Internet or in
combination with fieldwork in the storm region.
* Completed Research: Post abstracts of completed research or links to
full reports.
* Challenges of Social Justice Research: Post experiences and thoughts on
the special challenges of recovery research in the areas of race and
class.
* Research and Training Resources: Post announcements about research
resources, educational and training opportunities, public events, links to
articles and other relevant electronic resources, and funding resources.
* General News: Post news and bulletin articles relevant to the list subject.
* Logistical Aids: Post information on community partners and travel and
housing resources in the Gulf Coast region.
