Latino Immigrants in NOLA post-Katrina

As everyone in NOLA knows, there has been a massive migration/immigration of Latinos to the NOLA area since Hurricane Katrina. If you are like me, you are interested in learning more about this new population and finding out what part of the U.S. or from which other countries they have come from, what kind of work they are doing in NOLA, what their impressions are of NOLA and its people, and whether or not they intend on staying here, etc. I am in a sociology class at Tulane right now in which we will be conducting interviews of recent Latino migrants/immigrants to NOLA. If you would like to help, we need Spanish speakers to conduct interviews and non-Spanish speakers to do data input and analysis, among other things. If you are interesting in helping out or learning more about the research email me at whedden@tulane.edu.
