• W315522029 abstract "This City will rise again This Big (Un)Easy, this neglected treasure.-Niyi Osundari, This City Will Not DieIn August 2012, with Hurricane Isaac bearing down on New Orleans, Mayor Mitch Landrieu declared that residents in a public warning that assumes those in proximity to disaster will undertake necessary prepara- tions to survive. As a metaphor for my career trajectory, shelter in implies an ethical imperative not only to stay put during times of crisis, but to utilize these critical moments of uncertainty for pedagogical purposes.Before I moved to New Orleans, I easily fit Eric Zencey 's description of a rootless professor, a term he uses to capture embedded, rarely interrogated, privilege of mobility that marks many academic careers. This rootlessness, as Zencey reminds us, leaves us woefully ignorant of values of connectedness to place and willfully ready to pick up and leave when we don't like where we've landed. I had moved to Crescent City, not like other creative/professional types wanting to escape the perceived homogeneity of rest of America, a phrase New Orleans geographer Richard Campanella uses to describe city's allure, but because I had been offered a tenure-track job. Not long after I accepted job offer, I developed a naive longing to call New Orleans home. For most of my adult life, I had left one state for next, worked abroad for a few years, and moved in with family or friends during transitional periods. My late-bloomer academic trajectory only served to justify what had become, by time I turned forty, pathological. Factor in my contingent professional life as a non-tenured instructor teaching and tutoring at varied campuses and institutions for nearly ten years, and New Orleans held a welcome respite from economic and geographic instability.However, no sooner had I arrived in New Orleans in August 2005, when I was forced to evacuate, my fanciful ideas of home literally washed away by levee breaches. Mid-September found me continuing my evacuation in Tucson, living with a friend and teaching online during university's Katrina semes- ter, an adumbrated, online semester that began in early October. Because I was an alumna of University of Arizona, my evacuation was cushioned by familiarity of place, comfort of being among old friends, and gracious- ness of faculty in English Department who offered institutional support and collegiality. That fall I taught two online classes: a graduate seminar in rhetorical theory and a sophomore writing class I hastily redesigned, calling it Writing Hurricane Katrina: Natural Disaster and American Psyche. The course asked students not only to write about places they knew-all of them were from region-but also to research and write about city's ongoing social, environmental, and political issues. Whereas I don't see these goals as fundamentally pernicious, within context of that semester, expectations of this pedagogy now appear untenable and unattainable-in other words, there was a disconnect between what I was teaching and to whom.The course included local content such as op-eds and essays by New Orleans writers as well as articles and images from Times-Picayune, but assignments presumed that students could interrogate political and social issues at a time when their emails to me revealed insurmountable obstacles as they adapted to being displaced. …" @default.
