Tabitha Epperson: Home

What makes a house a “home”? Is it the location? The people? The mementos on the walls? What part of “home” is permanent, and what can be washed away? MTC faculty member Tabitha Epperson’s research into the definition of home began after her own Louisiana community sustained the ravage of Hurricane Katrina and was revived after her adopted home of Columbia withstood the waters of last year’s floods. In this remarkable talk, she’ll share survivors’ insights into what remains when the structure of “home” is gone.
