Professor Karla Goldman will present video excerpts and moderate a panel discussion among some of the project's narrators to consider the Jewish themes and frameworks that emerged in these interviews and to reflect upon the impact of oral history in capturing and shaping our understanding of individual, group, and general experiences of historically momentous events like Katrina.
