Floating Foundations: Kairos, Community, and a Composition Program in Post-Katrina New Orleans

T. R. Johnson ; Joe Letter ; Judith Kemerait Livingston

Abstract

The authors describe their individual and collective experiences reconstructing their New Orleans-based university composition program in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina. They emphasize how the concept of floating foundations helps account for changes in their students’ interests, and they suggest that this idea is applicable to the work of writing instructors in general.
