  • New Orleans' Confrontation with Modernity
    BETWEEN LOGOS AND EROS: NEW ORLEANS’ CONFRONTATION WITH MODERNITY Erin Christine Moore, BA Thesis Prepared for the Degree of MASTER OF ARTS UNIVERSITY OF NORTH TEXAS May 2008 APPROVED: Robert Frodeman, Major Professor and Chair of the Department of Philosophy and Religion Studies David Kaplan, Committee Member Irene Klaver, Committee Member Sandra L. Terrell, Dean of the Robert B. Toulouse School of Graduate Studies Moore, Erin Christine, Between Logos and Eros: New Orleans’ Confrontation with Modernity. Master of Arts (Philosophy), May 2008, 96 pp., 9 illustrations, references, 68 titles. This thesis examines the environmental and social consequences of maintaining the artificial divide between thinking and feeling, mind and matter, logos and eros. New Orleans, a city where the natural environment and human sensuality are both dominant forces, is used as a case study to explore the implications of our attempts to impose rational controls on nature – both physical and human nature. An analysis of New Orleans leading up to and immediately following Hurricane Katrina (2005) reveals that the root of the trouble in the city is not primarily environmental, technological, political, or sociological, but philosophical: there is something amiss in the relationship between human rationality and the corporeal world. I argue that policy decisions which do not include the contributions of experts from the humanities and qualitative social sciences – persons with expertise on human emotions, intentions, priorities and desires – will continue to be severely compromised.

  • Youth Preparedness Catalogue
    Youth Preparedness Catalogue Disaster Preparedness Education Programs and Resources Revised October 2015 YOUTH PREPAREDNESS CATALOGUE DISASTER PREPAREDNESS EDUCATION PROGRAMS AND RESOURCES Introduction Youth preparedness is an essential component of community preparedness. It helps leverage children’s unique strengths, and helps overcome some of children’s unique vulnerabilities, as related to emergencies and disasters. Starting or getting involved with a youth preparedness program is a great way to enhance a community’s resilience and help develop future generations of prepared adults. This Catalogue has been developed to assist individuals with locating preparedness programs and resources that are tailored to youth. Purpose of this Catalogue This Catalogue supports individuals interested in promoting youth preparedness education by connecting them with existing local-, state-, and national-level programs. It also directs readers to curricula and resources that can be used to develop or sustain a program. Using the Catalogue There are two primary reasons someone might use this Catalogue: 1. Finding programs with which to partner or otherwise get involved 2. Finding curricula and resources for developing/conducting a youth preparedness program or otherwise working with youth The information in this Catalogue has been organized to facilitate these two purposes. The first section includes existing programs. Individuals interested in getting involved with youth preparedness are encouraged to coordinate with existing programs when feasible, so as not to duplicate efforts. Programs are organized into national-level, regional, and state-level programs. Readers are encouraged to look at programs at all levels that might meet their needs. Each state and territory falls into one of ten FEMA regions, as can be seen on the next page.
