Research Questions

I have decided to research human rights violations during the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina. At the moment, I have a long list of resources I plan on going through during Thanksgiving Break. These include:

Zeitoun by Dave Eggers

Voices from the Storm- Lola Vollen/Chris Ying

A.D. New Orleans After the Deluge

When the Levees Broke  directed by Spike Lee

Unnatural Disaster; Human Rights in the Gulf Coast

Come Hell or High Water: Hurricane Katrina and the Color of Disaster by Michael Eric Dyson

Through just briefly scanning through some of these sources, I have found research questions that I believe will relate to my readings, but I am planning to come up with many questions so I can choose which one best fits or is able to evolve to become the best research question. 

-How were minorities treated in the aftermath of the Hurricane Katrina?
-Does this present a larger problem concerning race/socio-economic status of those "left behind" during the hurricane?

International Human Rights

I chose to topics to further research for the Academic Conference on International Human Rights, both through the book Zeitoun by Dave Eggers:
1) Human Rights Violations in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina
2) Discrimination of Muslims in the United States

I plan to choose a topic after reading the book and seeing which one it better illustrates so I can further my research.
