All Souls Interim Minister, Rev. Dr. Robert R.N. Ross, will share the extensive research and personal accounts that led to his book, co-authored with Deanne E.B. Ross, “Walking to New Orleans: Ethics and the Concept of Participatory Design in Post-Disaster Reconstruction.” His presentation will view the experience of New Orleans through the lens of the question: To what extent should we as a society take responsibility for the plight of those whose lives are irrevocably disrupted by disaster?
