Sites of Conscience, Louisiana

 "Sites of Conscience, Louisiana" is an undergraduate research and public humanities program focused on today's debates and interventions around monuments and memorialization. This program will be a key initiative for the Ethics Institute for the Spring and Fall of 2021. 

A "site of conscience" refers to any place of memory that commemorates the past in order to ensure a more just future. According to The International Coalition of Sites of Conscience, such sites "connect past struggles to today's movements for justice and human rights." 

This structured undergraduate research program is designed to give LSU students the opportunity to identify and design sites of conscience that will provide both students and Louisiana residents with a deeper context for today's debates around monuments and memorialization.
