本文利用杜波依斯的双重意识，以及女权主义理论和批判教育学的见解，来审视作为一名职业社会学家和一名受卡特里娜飓风影响的新奥尔良人所面临的紧张局势。我们认为，来自新奥尔良的社会学家面临着障碍，这些障碍阻止我们按照我们学科中许多人的要求“客观地”撰写和教学有关卡特里娜飓风的知识，同时阻止我们利用卡特里娜飓风的个人经历进行研究和教学。审稿人、编辑和同事告诉我们，我们的经历被视为偏见，不适合我们的写作和课堂。我们认为，关于卡特里娜飓风的许多重要知识永远不会被创造出来，而所创造的知识将主要由那些没有亲身经历过这场风暴的人撰写和教授。本文通过解构来自新奥尔良的社会学家所遇到的情况，调和了两种相互冲突的意识。
This paper utilizes Du Bois’ double consciousness, as well as insights from feminist theory and critical pedagogy, to examine the tensions involved in being both a professional sociologist and a New Orleanian affected by Hurricane Katrina. We argue that sociologists from New Orleans face barriers that prevent us from writing and teaching about Katrina ‘objectively’, as many in our discipline demand, while simultaneously discouraging us from engaging in research and teaching that draw on personal experiences with Katrina. We are told by reviewers, editors, and colleagues that our experiences, construed as biases, are inappropriate for our writing and our classrooms. We contend that much important knowledge about Hurricane Katrina will never be created, and the knowledge that is created will be largely written and taught by those who did not experience the storm first-hand. This paper reconciles two conflicted consciousnesses by deconstructing the situation encountered by sociologists from New Orleans.
