Dr. Gary LaFleur Jr., Director of The Center for Bayou Studies, discusses this month's upcoming Bayou Culture Collaborative Gathering happening July 19, 2024, featuring Dr. Quenton Fontenot and his Cajun Music Preservation Society.
Louisiana Folklore Society offers the Bayou Culture Gatherings in order to help connect those interested in the human dimension of coastal issues through monthly gatherings to learn and share. Each gathering features a topic for discussion in addition to news, announcements, and questions. Topics range from the practical, such as how to help threatened community museums, to policy discussion, such as how to include cultural durability in the community resilience conversation, to sessions that are devoted to simply sharing cultural traditions, such as a hike to forage wolfberry along brackish marshes.
