LOUISIANA STATE UNIVERSITY
BATON ROUGE, LOUISIANA
OCTOBER 13-15, 2012
LSU has a particular commitment to the principles of multi-culturalism. First, it is located in the heart of the state with one of the most racial and religious varieties in the U.S. Second, the city of New Orleans is unique in the influence of African- American cultural creativity and its wide variety of entertainment venues. Third, the Acadian region is arguably the best exampleof an American cultural space. Regardless, it is , in the words of NFL quarterback and Beaux Bridge native, Jack Delohomme, magical.
As a university, LSU has been sensitive to the cultural dimensions of American life. The study of Internal Relations, which is found in various departments, recognizes the importance of a global understanding. LSU extends a warm welcome to the cultural researchers gathered at STPA.
