Description: The Black Ecologies Lab board member Dr. Justin Hosbey (UC Berkeley) will convene the second Black ecologies field school in New Orleans in summer, 2024, organized around the themes of educational infrastructure in the post-Katrina context, historical and contemporary forms of marronage, waterscapes, and carceral ecologies. We will convene with community partners in the Lower 9th Ward, Algiers, and Plaquemines Parish and visit the Leona Tate Center and Solitary Gardens.  After the conclusion of this second field school we will develop the second iteration of the Black Ecologies Zine with methodological, historical, artistic, and other analyses of our collective experiences in Louisiana.
