Topic for Winter 2018: Global Rivers
This course examines the cultural and environmental politics of river systems. Rivers sustain human life and are sources of political power.

They generate energy, provide sustenance, and sustain human recreation. Attempts to control rivers in order to minimize flooding, to promote agricultural, mining, and manufacturing industries, and to mitigate water shortages and droughts, have been among the most contentious enterprises in human history.
