SUMMARY:Geography Awareness Week-Rescuing the Rougarou: Preserving culture in a changing climate
DESCRIPTION:
 The Michigan State University Department of Geography, 
 Environment and Spatial Sciences is 
 planning a variety of activities for its annual 
 celebration of Geography Awareness Week (November 
 13-17). The Department will host a spotlight 
 event featuring Cajun folklorist and 
 environmental activist Jonathan Foret for a special 
 presentation entitled "Rescuing the 
 Rougarou: Preserving Culture in a Changing 
 Climate." As a native of Chauvin, Louisiana, 
 Foret grew up in a culture-rich environment, 
 from working on shrimp boats as a young 
 boy to speaking Louisiana French with his grandmother. 
 The event will explore the challenges 
 of sustaining the traditional cultures of 
 coastal Louisiana for future generations in 
 the face of land loss and climate migration.\n
 \n
 This 
 event will take place on Thursday, November 
 16, 2023, at 7:00 p.m. at the Broad Business 
 College Complex (N130) and is co-sponsored 
 by the College of Social Science and WKAR.\n
