“U.S. Diasporas After Hurricane Katrina: Stories from Survivors Displaced to Seattleâ€
Himanee Gupta-Carlson

This paper explores the relationship between students, faculty, and educational institutions in the development of curricula through discussion of a course created for Cornish College of the Arts in Fall 2007. I created the class after I was inspired by two student projects in two separate courses, both of which served as course material for the Fall 2007 course, out of an attempt to meld ideas of student-centered instruction with ground-up theories of ethnography and with desires to see academia work more interactively with the communities which they are a part of. The experience of developing and teaching this course suggests that an idea of collaborative research might be applied to classrooms where students have an interest in the translation of theory to practice – through applying theoretical concepts to community research with a goal of effecting political change. At the same time, the experiment undertaken with this class generates questions about institutional resistance to such efforts.
