Global Urban Humanities Undergraduate Studio, Spring 2019: New Orleans: Historical Memory and Urban Design

How can a city’s past become a meaningful platform for its future? Students in this Global Urban Humanities research studio course investigated answers to this question for New Orleans’ historic neighborhoods by creating “paper monuments,” posters or similar mediums, proposing a public monument to a particular person, event or movement from the city’s rich history. The class also produced a collaborative, interactive digital map of the historic North Claiborne Avenue.
