It’s time for inspiration, connection, and discovery, and STAT is thoughtfully moving forward with plans to offer an in-person experience this November. Additionally, a Virtual CAST is scheduled for February 2022 and will feature selected content from the in-person event. CAST registration will include access to the virtual event, and a separate registration option for just the virtual event will later be available.
With health and safety being the highest priority and in response to changing circumstances, STAT may need to adapt programming and/or implement requirements to participate in the in-person event. This may include one or more of the following: masks, social distancing, capacity limits, and/or vaccination/negative test results.
Changes in programming or safety guidelines will be communicated regularly, and flexible options for cancelling or transferring registration to the virtual event will be available.
Conference sessions are designed for:
-
Helping to sustain the viability of nonprofits in tough economic climate & challenging times
-
Improving participants’ effectiveness professionally and personally through education & available resources
-
Creating opportunities for networking and collaboration
-
Increasing staff and volunteer morale, productivity and creativity
-
Inspiring, motivating and energizing participants’ potential as they strive for excellence
This conference has supported professional staff and volunteers from diverse organizations such as social service agencies, community organizations, faith-based groups, government, schools and other educational institutions, business and professional associations.
Welcome
The Department of Modern and Classical Literatures and Cultures and The Center for Environmental Studies present “In the Path of Disaster(s): Narratives around Natural Catastrophes in the Americas/Circum-Caribbean†at the Moody for the Arts.
Conference co-organizers Jacqueline Couti, Laurence H. Favrot Associate Professor of French and Francophone studies and Luis Duno-Gottberg, Professor of Caribbean and Media studies propose to offer a rigorous and enlightening encounter between scholars, artists, and activists, November 19 – 20.
This conference will highlight research, artwork, and activism from around the country, the Circum-Caribbean region, and Europe alongside studies from Rice faculty. Participants will discuss how disasters and natural catastrophes in the Circum-Caribbean region—broadly defined to include the Gulf coast areas of Texas and Louisiana—impact human interactions and shape societies. To explore how human activities and production impact natural disasters, discussions will often have a comparative approach that transcends historical and geographical delineations. This interdisciplinary symposium will provide a productive framework that draws from the humanities, social sciences, and natural sciences enabling a fruitful dialogue.
